Happy New Year! As nurses and educators, we have a lot to be thankful for and look forward to this new year. Looking back, our biggest accomplishment of the last couple of years is being of service during the pandemic. Looking forward, we must prepare new students for a new AACN Essentials and a new NCLEX®. It's time for a fresh start! We don't have to look far to find the resources we need for our students. UWorld is already at your fingertips

Demonstrate Positive Outcomes & Simplify Accreditation

Innovative Learning Platforms are more important than ever. The new AACN Essentials debuted in April 2021, providing educators with guidelines for curriculum changes that will be gradually incorporated into current four-year nursing programs over a period of three years or longer. Our mission is to help facilitate this transition by offering support to any program undergoing accreditation or reaccreditation. Here’s just one way we do that—by making data simple. Use our innovative reporting features and seamlessly input the results of your UWorld assignments when tracking remediation and program improvement efforts with our new item-level reporting.

It’s Time To Evaluate Your Nursing EdTech Investments

During the COVID-19 pandemic, EdTech investments became more critical than ever for nursing programs. Though implemented out of immediate necessity, the benefits of assimilating new nursing education technology into the learning process have become apparent for students and educators alike. In the wake of the pandemic, as we adjust to what instruction looks like moving forward, it is imperative that educators take the opportunity to re-evaluate their nursing EdTech investments.
NCLEX Remediation
Featured Event

Remediation for NCLEX® Success

Remediation. It’s a bad word for many students. Let’s face it. It does have a negative connotation. The word “remedial” in education is associated with individuals who do not have the knowledge and/or skills they need to be successful. We can’t change the definition, but we can change what it means to our students by changing the process of remediation.

Utilizing Evidence-Based Practices for NCLEX® Success

Nursing programs are judged (I do not use that word lightly) by their first-time NCLEX® pass rates. First-time NCLEX pass rates are the most measured quality indicator in nursing education. As nurse educators, we are tasked with and expected to utilize evidence-based practices in nursing to prepare students for the NCLEX and ensure success in our programs.

When should I start introducing my students to Next Generation NCLEX®?

Faculty agree that NCLEX preparation should start sooner rather than later and some programs start as early as the first term (Davis & Morrow, 2021). But, when is the right time?
