St. Peter's Hospital College of Nursing

What are the graduation rates for students at St. Peter's Hospital College of Nursing?

A dependable current overall graduation rate cannot be stated from the figures available for this college. Graduation statistics require particular care here because the familiar federal first-time, full-time cohort can represent only a small share of a nursing college's entering students.

Many entrants arrive with previous college credits, while reported first-time intake was only two students. A rate calculated from such a small group can swing sharply when one person's status changes and may say little about transfer students' progress. Applicants should request the college's recent associate-degree completion results, the time period measured, the number of students in each entering cohort, and whether transfers are included. Completion, NCLEX-RN pass rates, and job placement measure different outcomes and should be compared separately.

What is the earning potential for graduates at St. Peter's Hospital College of Nursing?

An institution-specific earnings figure should not be treated as a predicted salary for a St. Peter's Hospital College of Nursing student. Nursing earnings depend on whether a graduate obtains RN licensure, the job held, location, shift, experience, and further education.

National registered-nurse wage figures can provide occupational context, but they describe employed nurses across many backgrounds - not this college's graduates one year after completion. Similarly, a health-system connection does not establish that graduates receive job offers from that system. Applicants evaluating career outcomes should ask for a clearly defined, recent placement measure that states who was surveyed and whether respondents had passed the licensure exam.
