Get tips on how to adapt to the new NCLEX requirements and prepare your students for success
Only 20% of new nurses report feeling strong in their general nursing knowledge, according to a recent survey. This alarming statistic has revealed the urgent need for improving competencies in lifelike nursing scenarios—and the new Next Generation NCLEX, launching this April, will put these new competencies to the test. With only a few months to go, nursing student anxieties are rising and instructors are scrambling to ensure they’re prepared.
The next generation NCLEX represents a shift away from traditional knowledge-based testing and towards the competency-based testing that hospitals and medical establishments have been clamoring for. Rather than simply bubbling in multiple choice questions, students will be asked to think outside the box with lifelike situational questions that test their deeper understanding. Many students that excelled with the old testing will struggle with this new approach. With such a dramatic shift in the required testing mindset, how can instructors prepare their students in just a few months?
Watch this recorded webinar featuring Patrick Luna, Senior Instructor of Clinical Teaching at the University of Colorado College of Nursing, to learn the most effective things you can do to prepare students for the Next Generation NCLEX within a short time.
