Knox Technical Center nursing program ranked No. 2 in Ohio

Knox Technical Center has been ranked the No. 2 nursing program in Ohio by RegisteredNursing.org in its 2026 state rankings, according to KTC. The adult education division of Knox County Career Center was evaluated against 92 nursing schools across the state and earned the ranking largely on the strength of its 96.8% three-year weighted NCLEX-RN pass rate, the organization announced Friday, Nov. 13, 2026.

RegisteredNursing.org's annual rankings evaluate programs approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing, placing heavy emphasis on first-time NCLEX-RN pass rates, the national licensure examination required for registered nurses, weighted toward the most recent three years of testing data, according to KTC.

"Earning the number two ranking in the entire state of Ohio is a testament to the dedication of our nursing faculty and the hard work of our adult learners," said Kim Williams, Director of Knox Technical Center. "Many of our students are working Licensed Practical Nurses balancing jobs and families while advancing their careers. Seeing them achieve a nearly 97% pass rate on the NCLEX-RN shows that flexible, career-focused training prepares nurses to succeed."

The LPN-to-RN Transition Program is housed at KTC's extension campus at 1481 Yauger Road in Mount Vernon and is designed for working Licensed Practical Nurses seeking to advance to Registered Nurse licensure. The program uses a hybrid format that combines online coursework with on-site lab instruction at 1481 Yauger Drive and supervised clinical training, according to KTC.

The program is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing and prepares graduates to pursue RN roles across central Ohio healthcare systems or to continue on to an RN-to-BSN degree, according to KTC. Prospective students interested in upcoming cohorts, admissions requirements or financial aid can visit the Knox Technical Center website or call (740) 393-2933, the organization said.
