EP 112: NCLEX and the Crisis in Nursing Education
In this episode, Nurse Erica welcomes Dr. Julie Siemers DNP, MSN, RN to discuss the critical issues surrounding nursing education, patient safety, and the alarming trends in new graduate nurses' preparedness. The NCLEX pass rate has dropped to an all-time low and only 9% of new graduate nurses are deemed safe and competent. They explore the impact of recent and upcoming changes to the NCLEX exam and the phenomenon of diminishing experience among new grad nurses since COVID-19. The conversation includes the integrity challenges of cheating in nursing programs and nurses failing to perform patient assessments. The discussion emphasizes the urgent need for reform in nursing curriculum to ensure new graduates' clinical judgement and patient safety.
