NCLEX-RN
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) is a not-for-profit organization whose members include the boards of nursing in the 50 states, the District of Columbia and four US territories. NCSBN is the vehicle through which boards of nursing act and counsel together to provide regulatory excellence for public health, safety, and welfare. The Michigan Board of Nursing is a member of the NCSBN.
The NCLEX-RN is developed and owned by the NCSBN. NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination) is a nationwide examination used for the licensing of nurses in the United States since 1994. To ensure public protection, each board of nursing requires a candidate for licensure to pass the NCLEX examination for registered nurses (NCLEX-RN) or practical nurses (NCLEX-PN). The NCLEX examinations are designed to test the knowledge, skills, and abilities essential for the safe and effective practice of nursing at the entry level.
After program completion, a graduate from the ADN Nursing program at Mott Community
College takes the NCLEX-RN to receive his or her registered nursing license. A nursing
license gives the individual permission to practice nursing in the state that issues
the license. The current expected level of achievement on the NCLEX-RN is an 85% pass
rate for first-time testers.

As part of the accreditation process, Mott’s Nursing Program is required to calculate ‘on-time’ completion of the Nursing Program by its graduates. Calculation of Program Completion begins with the enrollment on the first day of the first nursing course and ends with the completion of the final nursing course. For our program, ‘on-time’ would be completion of all nursing courses (NRSG 110, 120, 121, 130, 210, 220, 230, 240, and 250) within 6 consecutive semesters.
Expected Level of Achievement: 60% of graduating students will complete the nursing program "on-time."
Please see the most recent completion rates below:
| Cohort- Start date | # starting students | # graduate on time | % on time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fall 2021 | 53 | 32 | 60.38% |
| Winter 2022 | 60 | 36 | 60.00% |
| Fall 2022 | 59 | 45 | 76.27% |
| Winter 2023 | 61 | 42 | 68.85% |
| Fall 2023 | 62 | 37 | 59.68% |
| Winter 2024 | 61 | 41 | 67.21% |
Reasons for not graduating on-time include non-progression/academic failure or voluntary stop out due to personal or medical circumstances. If a student is unsuccessful, they have to apply for readmission, which is not guaranteed. Additionally, readmission may be delayed due to the need to complete required remediation or lack of available clinical placement.
Employment/Job Placement Surveys are sent to Nursing Program graduates after program completion. Data gathered from graduates includes the rate of employment as a registered nurse, working status (FT or PT), and work setting. The following represents employment rates for the past three years.
