Student preparation for the College of Nursing is
similar among the four colleges and transfer programs.
Students graduate with a joint degree from both the
college of enrollment as well as from Washington State
University. Graduates participate in the campus
graduation of one and/or both colleges.
BSN graduates consistently achieve one of the highest
rates of passage of first-time candidates on the
National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for
baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses in Washington
State. Graduates of undergraduate and graduate programs
are highly sought after for their excellence in nursing
practice.
