LEWES, Delaware – All graduates from the Class of 2023 at the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing at Beebe Healthcare have passed the national examination for licensure as a registered nurse (RN). The 100 percent pass rate by students is not the first time the feat has been accomplished at the Rollins School of Nursing.
This accomplishment ranks the Rollins graduates at the top among all RN programs in the Mid-Atlantic region. The Rollins School of Nursing prides itself on outstanding outcomes, with National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) success being a top priority. This continues a long tradition of excellence in nursing education at Beebe Healthcare.
“Beebe Healthcare leadership and the School of Nursing faculty congratulate the Class of 2023 on their success and welcome them to the nursing profession,” said Karen Pickard, DNP, CNE, NEA-BC, director, Margaret H.
