    Were very proud and pleased to offer our congratulations to the 2015 graduates of the Practical Nursing Program, said DeRossett.

    According to Marsha McKenzie, associate dean for allied health at BSCTC, this marked the second straight year that the Practical Nursing program had a 100 percent pass rate on the NCLEX-PN exam.
