Latest national data affirms college's role in training the next generation of nurses
VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- Ventura College is proud to announce that its Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program has been ranked first in the state of California and in the nation for its exceptional National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) first-time pass rate, according to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN).
Ventura College achieved a 100% NCLEX-RN pass rate, according to the 2024-2025 NCLEX Program Report surpassing the 126 other ADN nursing programs in California, ranking first among the 1,320 comparable programs and across the United States. The report evaluates nursing programs based on the percentage of graduates who pass the NCLEX-RN on their first attempt and compares outcomes across states and national program types.
"Our nursing program's national recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our faculty, the determination of our students and excellence of Ventura College's academic and clinical training partnerships," said Luca Lewis, interim president of Ventura College.

The program's top ranking this year continues a strong multi-year performance. Over the last decade, Ventura College nursing graduates have consistently exceeded both state and national averages for passing the NCLEX-RN on their first time taking the exam.
"Being named the top nursing school in the nation for NCLEX pass rates is a powerful reminder of what can happen when people come together with a shared mission and genuine love for the work they do," said Sandra Melton, Ventura College Nursing Program director. "I am humbled, honored and deeply thankful to be part of this incredible community. This accomplishment belongs to all of us — and it reflects the compassion and excellence we will continue to carry forward into every classroom, every clinical setting and every patient interaction."
Ventura College nursing students undergo rigorous academic preparation grounded in clinical judgment, human functioning, health alterations and wellness-illness continuum frameworks.
