Trinity is proud to be named the #1 BSN program in the State of Illinois by RegisteredNursing.org. Nursing programs were assessed on several factors which represent how well a program supports students towards licensure and beyond!
Trinity’s nursing students continued their perfect pass rate on the NCLEX-RN. The College is celebrating its second year with a 100% pass rate and third straight year at least 12% above the national year-to-date average.
The exams are administered by NCSBN, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, through which boards of nursing act and counsel together to provide regulatory excellence for public health, safety, and welfare. The exam is taken after the student graduates from a bachelor’s degree-granting nursing program.
Tina Decker, head of Trinity’s Nursing Department, emphasized that the impressive showing was due in part to the relationship between the students and their teachers: “Students at Trinity Christian College are not just numbers,” Decker said. The faculty know each one of the students as an individual, and are committed to helping the student meet their potential.”
When asked how Trinity can keep their streak going, Decker said the Nursing Department would “continue promoting a community that emphasizes the importance of nursing as a vocation.”
Trinity’s nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The mission of the Trinity Alumni Nursing Association (TANA) is to support the Department of Nursing through student-related activities, public relations, and fundraising, and to foster personal and professional relationships among alumni.
A member of the Class of ’15 who is now an alumni prayer partner said:
“This prayer partnership has been such a great source of strength and motivation for me. Knowing that there is someone else who went through similar struggles as you, and hearing words of wisdom and encouragement from them really gave me that extra push to overcome the challenges of nursing school. It has definitely made a huge contribution to my success during and after nursing school.”
