SIT Bachelor of Nursing (BN) and Diploma in Enrolled Nursing (DipEn) graduates have excelled once again and remain consistently among the best in New Zealand by achieving 100% pass rates in the latest Nursing Council State Final Examination, held in July. The national average pass rate for DipEn exams was 87.7%; SIT DipEn graduates exceeded this by more than 12%. And SIT BN graduates achieved nearly 7% over the national average of 93.2%. For SIT’s most recent Nursing graduates, the exam is the crucial final step as it allows them to practise as nurses in New Zealand. The Nursing Council usually runs three exams per year: March, July and November; the July exam allows those graduates with a mid-year finish to sit immediately and have less delay with their entry into nursing. 🔗 Full story below. #SITNZ #Nursing #BachelorOfNursing #EnrolledNursing

They identified it as a major gap in our program outcomes. Our graduate performance did not match the academic potential of our students,” says Dr Anna McDaniel, dean of the University of Florida’s College of Nursing. To increase the student NCLEX-RN pass rate, McDaniel and her team began working with Elsevier, an information and analytics provider which is part of RELX, to implement HESI, a review and testing solution that helps students stay on track with their test preparation. The University of Florida had already leveraged HESI in its legacy curriculum for mid-curricular and program exit assessments but saw its full adoption as the potential answer to their problem.
