St. Bonifacius, MN — Crown College is proud to announce that its nursing program has achieved a 100% NCLEX-RN first-time pass rate with the Class of 2025. While the term “first-time” relates to how often students took the exam, this accomplishment is not a first-time experience for the college. In four of the past five years, Crown’s nursing graduates have reached this impressive achievement, highlighting the college’s commitment to professional excellence.

Crown’s nursing program offers comprehensive coursework, hands-on clinical experiences, and expert faculty mentors who not only equip students with the necessary clinical skills but also emphasize the importance of providing holistic care. The program is also accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.

“Our program focuses on developing clinical judgment skills and deepening each student’s worldview. As a result, our graduates are sought after for their ability to provide high quality, compassionate, patient-focused care to people in all settings,” said Dr. Joy Pieper, Associate Professor and Nursing Department Chairperson.

“At Crown, we don’t just prepare students for careers — we cultivate compassionate healers rooted in Christ-like service,” Pieper said. “Our faculty pour their knowledge and their hearts into every course, modeling integrity, grace, and professionalism. Our students rise to the challenge with courage, discipline, and a deep sense of purpose.”

*The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is a nationwide examination for the licensing of nurses. After graduating from a school of nursing, one takes the NCLEX exam to receive a nursing license.
