Daniel, Deren Guerrero shining examples of NIC’s top-performing nursing program
North Idaho College’s nursing program is the top nursing program in Idaho. Of Idaho’s 13 nursing schools, NIC’s ranks No. 1 in pass rates on the first attempt on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) licensure examination. Out of more than 1,700 programs across the country, NIC is in the top 100, coming in at No. 61. Its three-year average NCLEX-RN passing rate is 96.62%, which any student knows is a solid “A” grade, reflective of hard work and determined effort.
