While many nursing students successfully graduate and pass the NCLEX, a concerning number still struggle to make it through. If your student body is facing these challenges, you may be wondering what more your faculty and administration can do to support them.
Nursing education comes with its own unique set of obstacles. Many students juggle the demands of full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and their studies, making it difficult to stay focused and succeed.
To improve student outcomes, some schools are turning to innovative new strategies. In this post, we'll explore AI-driven solutions designed to help your working students stay on track and ultimately pass the NCLEX.
1. Keep Track of What Topics Have Been Covered
Helping nursing students study efficiently is paramount to their success. That means covering each NCLEX topic and making sure students understand it the first time. If your curriculum is missing a topic, students will be unprepared for assessment.
At the same time, curricular redundancies can also be detrimental. Students with full-time jobs have much less time to study. If they're completing assigned work on a topic they've already mastered, they have less time to study other areas that will be important on the NCLEX.
New AI solutions can help faculty and administrators identify gaps and overlaps in their curriculum. Using this information to make curricular adjustments, they can better equip their students for success.
2. Leverage Your Best Available Academic Resources
Although working students earn income, they may have difficulty finding the money for extra study guides or textbooks beyond what their instructors assign. You can help students fully utilize your school's academic resources by making your them discoverable through an AI-based search solution.
3. Intervene with Students Who Are Struggling
Job demands often take higher priority than coursework for students who support themselves and their families. Inevitably, some students will fall behind in their studies. It's important that you identify struggling students as early as possible so you can set them back on the path to success.
AI solutions can help you with this early intervention. Using advanced analytics to map assessment data to your learning objectives, you can promptly and precisely identify learning gaps so you can address them before they become unsurmountable.
4. Help Students Find Study Material Faster
It can be frustrating for working students when they can't pinpoint topics within lectures or resources while studying for the NCLEX. They may waste valuable time sifting through materials when they could be focusing on learning.
By implementing an AI-based search solution, you can enhance the discoverability of material in your content repository, so students can make study time more productive.
