Heartland Community College programs educating health care
professionals of the future have reached an impressive milestone.
Heartland’s Health and Human Services division has posted four
programs with a perfect pass rate for licensure or certification
exams during the 2017-2018 school year. This is the first time all
four of these fully-accredited programs posted perfect exam pass
rates during the same school year.
Nursing, Physical Therapy Assistant and Radiography programs have
all reached a 100 percent pass rate on board exams.
Nursing program cohorts that met the perfect pass rate include both
Nursing ADN and Nursing PN programs.
“We’ve seen tremendous success from the students who have taken
licensure or certification exams in 2017-2018,” said Jane Miller,
Dean of Health and Human Services. “Each of these programs has
exceeded the national pass rates for several years, but to see these
cohorts all hit 100 percent is a testament to the hard work of both
the students and the committed faculty at Heartland.”
