Title: NCLEX Nursing Student Exam Pass Rates Are Up - Audio Learning
According to NCSBN, National Council of State Boards of Nursing test results among students studying outside the United States & US educated students taking the NCLEX RN are both on the rise from 2000. In 2000 there were a total of 71, 475 US educated students & 7, 506 internationally educated students taking the NCLEX RN. About 88. 5% of students taking the NCLEX were educated in the US Although the number of nursing students increased significantly in 2007, it`s not meeting the needs of the demands. An aging population, population explosion, & increased number of nurses used in place of doctors is causing a serious demand for nurses. The demand for nurses in the US is being answered by students in other countries. A lot of US Citizens are arguing that there`re citizens with education & experience who want a job in the computer science field & issuing more work visas will only increase unemployment in the US. Will this be the same for the nursing industry? In 2007 there were 119, 579 US educated students & 33, 768 internationally educated pupils taking 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 need for nurses in North America & know that educating themselves may be their opportunity to obtain a work visa & possible citizenship in the US & may garner them a life of a greater quality of living & freedom from oppression. Students Educated in the United States are still out performing international students, but international students are gaining on them. Last year, there were 119, 579 US educated nursing students taking the NCLEX RN. 85. 5% of them passed. 52% of the 33, 768 internationally educated How about those students who had to repeat the test? Last yearthere were a total of 26, 411 students retaking the exam These were US educated students repeating the test. Easy math indicates that there`re students taking the exam for at least the third time Only 52. 4% of these repeat test takers passed. The pass rate for Students educated outside the US dropped to 25. 7% A lot of students are looking for learn aids to help them getting better test results & have turned to NCLEX NCLEX Learn Audioson CDs & MP3 downloads. Since the audios are available online they are accessible to anybody in the world. A lot of students utilize the audios to prepare for the test, but some students have thought ahead & use it to become familiar with the class material prior to starting the class. Most students attribute poor test results to the lack of time they have to learn. NCLEX review materials on audio make it easier to review while performing other activities such as driving or going to the gym.
