Nursing is not anything if
not a dynamic field. Nurses have always worked at the constantly changing intersection
of medical knowledge and advanced technology—whether that’s (finally) requiring
handwashing in the 19th century, or implementing alternative therapies in the
21st.
As anyone who finds
themselves constantly upgrading smartphones every other year knows, in today’s
world, knowledge and technology develop faster than ever before. And so does
nursing.
Unlike many other
professionals out there—say, bankers or politicians—nurses are constantly incorporating
advancements into their practice as quickly (and as safely) as possible. Not
only in regards to technology, of course, but patient care, environment
management, and all the other best practices that go into delivering top-tier
health care. Always have got to stay one step ahead of the next virus, as it
were.
In order to keep up with the ever-evolving
landscape of nursing practice, the entry-to-practice exam for nurses training
to enter the scene has also got to stay on its toes.
The test plans for the
NCLEX-RN itself are updated every three years (with the next update coming in
April 2016), but new exam items are constantly added and tested in preparation
for each of these updates. For just as nursing practice evolves, of course so
does the NCLEX-RN.
That’s why PRIMED’s NCLEX-RN Prep courses are regularly updated to incorporate the latest in nursing
practice. Because keeping on top of the constant change in “real-world” nursing
practice means keeping on top of what NCLEX-RN test-takers will be seeing on
their exams.
To make sure you’re provided
with the latest clinical information as you prepare to write the NCLEX-RN, PRIMED’s
course materials are updated at least three to four times per year. Not only
does this set you up for success on the NCLEX-RN, but it also means you’ll be
entering that “real world” of nursing with the most up-to-date knowledge of
practice.
It’s just something nurses
do: stay on their toes. PRIMED will help keep you there.
