STC Makes History as First Nursing Apprenticeship Cohort Achieves 100% Pass Rate
· Texas Border Business
South Texas College (STC) has made history with its first cohort of nursing apprentices achieving a 100% pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). All ten graduates passed on their first attempt and are now licensed registered nurses. They completed 2,000 hours of paid training at DHR Health while pursuing their Associate Degree in Nursing. The apprenticeship program, developed in partnership with various organizations, aims to address the nursing shortage in the Rio Grande Valley, which could see a deficit of over 6,200 nurses by 2030. STC plans to launch a second cohort to continue this initiative.
