Vicky Chang’s transformational gift of one-million dollars has changed the lives of nursing students at LASC.
Because of her generous donation, graduating nursing students receive $500 to take their NCLEX Board examination test preparation and test fees, allowing students to schedule their Board examination sooner, while the information is retained. The LASC’s NCLEX pass rate for the academic year 2018-2019 is 81.58%.
