McAuley School of Nursing BSN pre-licensure program from the Aquinas Campus celebrated every member of the 2025 graduating class (23 students) passing the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) on their first attempt.

While the Aquinas students have consistently scored above state and national averages on the NCLEX, this is the first time in the program’s 25-year history that they’ve achieved a 100% first-time pass rate on the test.

Detroit Mercy, Aquinas College and Trinity Health Grand Rapids have been in partnership for the entire 25-year history of UDM’s Aquinas Campus.
