Three Nicolet College students were part of a Radiography Technology graduating class that recently posted a 100 percent pass rate on American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) national certification exam. The three Nicolet students were part of the graduating class of 11 in the Radiography Technology program that Nicolet shares with Lakeshore Technical College in Cleveland, Wis. “We were absolutely thrilled when we found out that all of our students passed the exam,” said Candy Dailey, dean of Health Occupations at Nicolet. ARTT is the world’s largest organization offering credentials in medical imaging, interventional procedures, and radiation therapy. The national average pass rate for this year is not yet available, though since 2018, national pass rates have ranged from 88.2 percent to 89percent. Lakeshore graduate pass rates during that time ranged from 92.9 to 100 percent and surpassed the national average each of those years. All of the students who were looking for work found positions before they graduated. The remainder of students transferred to four-year universities to pursue their bachelor’s degrees. “Our radiography graduates continue performing at a high level when testing and out in the workforce where they are in high demand,” said Lakeshore President Paul Carlsen. “This class proved to be especially resilient during COVID and we are confident they will provide the best care possible to members of our community.” Lakeshore’s Radiography program received an eight-year accreditation by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology in 2018.
