NCLEX Test Preparation Made Easy With Audios
According to NCSBN, National Council of State Boards of Nursing the gap between international students and US educated students passing the NCLEX RN is diminishing.
In 2000 there were more than seventy-one thousand US educated pupils sitting for the NCLEX exam and over seventy-five hundred pupils educated outside the United States. About 88.5% of students taking the NCLEX were educated in the US
Although the number of nursing students increased significantly in 2007, it is not meeting the needs of the demands. An aging population, population explosion, and increased number of nurses used in place of doctors is causing a serious demand for nurses.
Is the need for nurses similar to the need for computer engineers? Computer engineer positions were met by students outside the US who were determined to learn the trade. These students are also recognizing and satisfying the need for nurses. Many US Citizens are arguing that there are citizens with education and experience to fill the positions in the computer science field and issuing more work visas will only increase unemployment in the US. Will nurses in the US be competing for jobs in the US with students educated abroad? In 2007 there were 119,579 US educated students and 33,768 internationally educated pupils sitting for the NCLEX RN exam. More than 28% of all nursing students taking this exam.
The dramatic increase is quite possibly the result of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing opening three exam centers abroad. In just seven years the percentage of international students has risen 17.5%
Students educated outside the US are keen to the demand for nurses in North America and know that educating themselves may be their opportunity to obtain a work visa and possible citizenship in the US and may garner them a life of a greater quality of living and freedom from oppression.
US are still out performing international students, but international students are gaining on them.In 2007, there were 119,579 US educated nursing students taking the NCLEX RN. 85.5% of them passed. Only 52% of the 33,768 internationally educated
How about those students who had to repeat the test? In 2007there were a total of 26,411 students retaking the exam These were US educated students repeating the test. Simple math indicates that there are students taking the exam for at least the third time A mere 52.4% of these repeat test takers passed. Internationally educated test takers pass rate dropped to 25.7%
Many students are looking for study aids to help them getting better test results and have turned to NCLEX NCLEX Study Audioson CDs and MP3 downloads. Since the audios are available online they are accessible to anyone in the world.
most students use the audios to prepare for the test, but a few students have thought ahead and use it to become familiar with the class material before they start the course
Most students attribute poor test results to the lack of time they have to study. Audio study materials for the NCLEX exam make it easy to learn while doing other tasks.
