Program outcomes are developed as performance indicators to provide evidence that the ASN program is meeting the mission and goals established by the nursing program. The Program outcomes are measured by NCLEX pass rates, program completion, and job placement. The ASN program utilizes the ACEN Standards and Criteria (2017 edition) to demonstrate evidence of achievement in meeting the program outcomes.
The program outcomes include the following:
Outcome 1: The Snow College NCLEX-RN pass rates for the ASN program will meet or exceed 80% for all first-time test-takers.
