All eight graduates of Westmont’s inaugural Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) cohort have successfully passed the National Council for Licensure Exam-RN (NCLEX-RN) and begun careers as nurses. Half of these nurses serve in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. They completed the program in May 2023.

The 2023 national average for Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates passing the NCLEX is 83 percent; in 2022 fewer than 80 percent passed the exam, although 84 percent of California nurses succeeded.
