The Program outcomes are measured by NCLEX pass rates, program completion, and job placement. The ASN program utilizes the ACEN Standards and Criteria (2017 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 rates for the ASN program will meet or exceed 80% for all first-time test-takers.

Outcome 2:  A minimum of 80 percent of students will graduate from the Snow College  ASN program 1½ times the length of the program.

Outcome 3:  At least 80% of program graduates will be employed within six to twelve months after graduation.
