Chattanooga State Nursing Program Consistently High Quality
Chattanooga State’s Nursing program continues to exceed the Tennessee Board of Nursing benchmark. In fact, our May 2017 cohort of 107 RN graduates had a 100% licensure pass rate. Chattanooga State is unique in that we are the only institution in the state of Tennessee with such a large graduating class in one cohort to achieve 100% on their first attempt. The national average for passing the nursing licensure exam for 2017 is 87.11%, and the state average is 90.23%.
