Danville Community College (DCC) is celebrating outstanding results from its May 2026 Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) graduating class, with 93.75% of graduates passing the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) on their first attempt.
All 32 graduates from DCC’s May 2026 nursing cohort have taken the NCLEX-RN at least once. Of those graduates, 30 passed on their first attempt, representing a combined first-attempt pass rate of 93.75%.
Among DCC’s traditional ADN graduates, 25 of 27 students passed on their first attempt, for a 92.59% first-attempt pass rate. The College’s LPN-to-RN students achieved a 100% first-attempt pass rate, with all five graduates successfully passing the NCLEX-RN on their first attempt.
“At Danville Community College, student success ultimately means preparing individuals to step confidently into careers that strengthen our region,” said Dr. Cornelius Johnson, President of Danville Community College. “These exceptional results demonstrate that our nursing graduates are leaving DCC prepared to meet the rigorous standards of their profession and contribute to the healthcare workforce our communities depend upon. I congratulate the Class of 2026 and commend our nursing faculty for the extraordinary work that made this achievement possible.”
