Community College System Students Post Top Nursing Scores In The State I y Students from 32 institutions within the State Community College System took the State Board of Nursing Examinations in July along with graduates of the University system and diploma programs for Registered Nurse Education. Ninety-four percent (93.56%) of the first time writers for the examinations from the Associate Degree Nursing programs in the Community College system passed the exam compared to eighty-eight percent (88%) of the graduate from the University system. The Carteret Technical-Craven Community College Associate Degree ursing class of 1984, with 29 graduates writing for the exam, howed a 97% passing rate. Dr. Vercie Hardee, Coordinator of Health Occupation Programs for the Department of Community Colleges reports that this is the third consecutive year that nursing students who had attended the N.C. Community College system institutions have excelled on the State Board of Nursing Examinations. The first class from the Carteret-Craven program was the class of 1975 according to Polly Tillman and since that time the Carteret- Craven graduates have scored higher than state averages. Dr. Hardee states that there are a number of factors that contribute to the Community College system’s scoring success. She reported,” We try to pinpoint which applicants may have problems and offer these students essential developmental courses.” She also said that improvements in faculty education, more effective use of clinical facilities, and improvements in the nursing curriculum were major factors for the high scores.
