2 Practice makes perfect. When you start your first hands-on clinical experience beginning your second year, you ve got three years to practice what you learn. When you get the chance to put your education to work almost immediately, you learn faster and remember more. Pace nursing students start their first hands-on clinical experience a year earlier than most other nursing programs. By the time you graduate, you ll feel more comfortable in a wide range of health care settings. And just imagine what your resume will look like when you can list clinical experiences at dozens of outstanding medical institutions throughout the New York Metropolitan Area. Success stories start here: n Pace graduates consistently exceed the state and national pass rates on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). In the first quarter of 2012, 100% of Lienhard nursing students passed the exam. n Using the latest technology, such as human patient simulators like METIman and SimBaby, our students get the life-saving skills and experience they need.
