Outcomes

NCLEX-RN pass rates by year

Board-reported first-time pass rates for Gaston College, each shown with the cohort size it was calculated from. Candidate-weighted average across 2 reporting periods: 95.3% over 127 candidates.

Gaston College's latest reported year is 2026, and that 92.75% — from a cohort of 69 first-time candidates — is 6 points above the 86.7% national first-time NCLEX-RN pass rate NCSBN reported for 2025.

Source: state board of nursing publications, transcribed per cohort. Cohorts under 10 candidates are suppressed rather than shown. A quarter range next to a year means the board edition covered only that part of the year, so those rows are not directly comparable with full-year rows. Full NCLEX detail for Gaston College.

Admissions

Admissions at Gaston College

Competitive.

• No overall acceptance or admission rate percentage for the ADN or LPN programs is published on official Gaston College sites. Third‑party sources (e.g., Peterson’s) list a general college acceptance rate (~87%), but this is not specific to nursing.
• Minimum GPA thresholds are not explicitly listed on the official program pages. However, a “point sheet” system evaluates applicants based on GPA ranges in specific co‑requisite and biology courses (see below). No blanket cumulative GPA requirement is stated in publicly accessible documents.
• TEAS (Test of Essential Academic Skills) usage and scoring details are documented in the ADN point‑sheet:
• – The science portion of the ATI TEAS is used to award competitive points:
• 58.7–65 → 1 point
• 66–68 → 1 point
• 65.1–75 → 2 points
• 69–71 → 2 points
• 75.1–85 → 3 points
• 72–74 → 3 points
• 85.1+ or 75 and above → 4 points
• – Co‑requisite course GPA ranges also yield points (e.g., biology GPA bands up to 4.0 for up to 5 points).
• – Other point‑earning components include completion of Nurse Aide or Phlebotomy at Gaston, TEAS prep class, existing degrees, etc.
• Admissions window for different nursing tracks:
• – ADN (Associate Degree Nursing) and Practical Nursing (LPN) both open October 1 through March 1 for fall admission, and require participation in a mandatory information session.
• – LPN‑to‑RN bridge opens September 1 through January 31 for a summer (May) start.
