NCLEX Pass Rates for LPN & ADN Above National Average - The Nursing Program through Pratt Community College has received certificates of excellence from the Kansas State Board of Nursing for 2007. 

In the last 7 years, students in the LPN and RN programs have scored above both state and national averages. This is especially significant because in 2004, 2005, and 2007 passing standards increased, and in fall 2005 the program was expanded by forming a partnership with Cowley College.  All of the pre-requisites required for a nursing degree are offered at Cowley College, while Pratt Community College provides the technical nursing classes at Cowley’s Winfield Campus.
Congratulations PCC Nursing Students and Faculty!
