A total of 82 men and women who hail from throughout Central and Northern New Jersey, and Bronx, Jamaica and Staten Island, New York are among the January and May 2010 graduates of the Trinitas School of Nursing.

As a Cooperative Nursing Program with Union County College, Trinitas School of Nursing confers a Diploma in Nursing from Trinitas and an Associate in Science degree from the College. With nearly 2,000 students, Trinitas School of Nursing has one of the largest student enrollments in the nation, second only to Excelsior College School of Nursing in Albany, New York, as reported by Modern Healthcare Magazine.

The Trinitas School of Nursing in Union County College's Elizabeth I. Kellogg Building in Elizabeth provides challenging opportunities for student nurses to develop superior patient care skills. High and mid-fidelity patient simulators give nursing students real-life patient care experiences that they will encounter in the care setting by supplementing textbook learning and interactions with faculty to provide the best current knowledge available within the nursing profession. In seven "smart" classrooms, wireless internet and computerized projection capabilities provide 21st century technology while a separate computer lab has 29 computer stations.

The School takes pride in one of the highest pass rates for registered nurse licensure among its students who take the National Council Licensing Exam (NCLEX). Since 1990, 97 percent of the school's graduates have passed the NCLEX exam on first writing.
