[November 29, 2018] 

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.”
