NCLEX pass rates and the NGN

Don’t despair over the downward trend in NCLEX pass rates. Your efforts are helping students become better prepared to pass this crucial exam — and graduate as practice-ready nurses.

Assessment integrity

Cheating among students has risen with remote proctoring becoming the norm. But you can deal with the problem by understanding the causes.

Staffing issues

The staffing shortage is a crisis. Your program, though, can help address it. (And ATI is working alongside you with our own proactive efforts.)

Student enrollment & retention

A lack of academic preparedness and student anxiety may be causing these issues. But expert advice can put nursing education back on track.

Clinical experiences

Don’t let the closed doors of traditional clinical sites deter you from delivering crucial clinical experience. Alternatives abound.
