“Texas Wesleyan University’s consistent performance above the national pass rate for first-time takers of the Certification Examination is evidence of the commitment of our students, faculty and staff to excellence,” said Heidi Taylor, Ph.D., RN, NC-BC, HN-BC, professor dean of the School of Health Professions, said.
