AUHS School of Nursing (SON) is proud to report that its current first-time NCLEX pass rate remains above 92% for the academic year. Since 2023, the American University of Health Sciences (AUHS) has consistently achieved first-time NCLEX-RN pass rates over 90%, showcasing its strong, evidence-based nursing program. This ongoing success is due to the strategic use of NCLEX-style questions in all courses, high-fidelity simulation experiences, and alignment with the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. AUHS emphasizes critical thinking and clinical reasoning through case-based learning and unfolding scenarios, while also providing comprehensive and structured NCLEX review prep and personalized remediation. The university’s focus on academic excellence, emotional readiness, and data-driven support ensures graduates are well-prepared for licensure and capable of succeeding in the evolving healthcare environment.
So, AUHS not only surpasses the California average but also outperforms broader national metrics by approximately 1–2 percentage points.
AUHS consistently exceeds both state and national standards, placing it among the regional elite. This achievement highlights the effectiveness of its robust, NCLEX-focused curriculum, clearly demonstrating that its graduates are exceptionally well-prepared.
