Do students finish?
A pass rate only counts the students who reach the exam. Of every 100 who start, this is how many finish on time and then pass the NCLEX on the first try.
Mississippi IHL: Share of the entering cohort that graduated within 100% of program length (2023–24 cohort). Bachelor’s rows may include RN-to-BSN students.
