Lourdes University Success Story
With a deep-rooted passion for nursing education and a dedication to her students' success, instructor Lauren Reinard identified a need for change.

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.

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.
