South University is proud to announce exceptional results from its Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs, with graduates across multiple campuses achieving strong pass rates on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) in 2025. The university's nursing programs are designed to prepare students for the realities of modern healthcare through a combination of classroom instruction, simulation-based learning, and clinical rotations at leading healthcare facilities.

Why it matters

These NCLEX results come at a critical time for the healthcare industry, as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of registered nurses will grow faster than the average for all occupations over the coming decade, driven by an aging population and increased emphasis on preventive care. South University's nursing programs are positioned to help meet this demand by producing well-prepared graduates who are ready to enter the workforce and make an immediate impact in their communities.

The details

Among the standout performers, South University, Orlando achieved a 100% pass rate for the third consecutive year, while SU, Savannah reported 100% of its first cohort of graduates successfully passing the examination. Additionally, South University, West Palm Beach continued its strong performance with a 96.88% pass rate. These results reflect the dedication of South University's nursing faculty and the rigorous preparation students receive throughout their academic journey.

  • In 2025, South University nursing graduates across multiple campuses achieved strong NCLEX-RN pass rates.
