Our June 2025 convocation marked a proud moment for St. Lawrence College—the graduation of the first cohort of the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Honours (BScN) degree program. This achievement represents years of dedication from students, faculty, and staff.
In Canada, BScN graduates must pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN), a mandatory entry-to-practice exam required by all provincial regulatory bodies. SLC graduates have consistently surpassed both national and provincial pass rates, and this year was no exception.
Across all three campuses, our BScN graduates achieved an outstanding 91.53% pass rate, compared to the 2024 national average of 88.6% and Ontario’s 87.1%. These results demonstrate the exceptional quality of training provided at SLC and the readiness of our graduates to excel in the demanding and rewarding field of nursing.
Congratulations to our BScN alumni, faculty, and support staff for this incredible accomplishment!
