Program Outcomes

Program outcomes are developed as performance indicators to provide evidence that the ASN program is meeting the mission and goals established by the nursing program. The Program outcomes are measured by NCLEX pass rates, program completion, and job placement. The ASN program utilizes the ACEN Standards and Criteria (2023 edition) to demonstrate evidence of achievement in meeting the program outcomes.

The program outcomes include the following:

 Outcome 1:  The Snow College NCLEX-RN pass rate for the ASN program will be reviewed annually from January 1 to December 31 following Utah’s DOPL reporting process. The three most recent years must meet at least one of the following based on the total number of test-takers:

• 80% or greater for all first-time test-takers; or
• 80% or greater for all first-time test-takers and repeaters;
• Or at or above the national mean based on the nursing program type. 

Outcome 2: 

• 75% of all students who begin the ASN program will complete on-time.
• 75% of students who begin in NURS 1102 will complete the traditional program option on-time within four academic terms.
• 75% of all students who begin in NURS 2140 will complete the LPN-RN Bridge program option on-time within two academic terms.

Outcome 3:  At least 80% of program graduates will report employment as an RN within six to twelve months of graduation.
