Considering Pass or No Pass education in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
April 10, 2020
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (ET)
Webinar Details & Objectives
Scoring for the NCLEX is pass or no pass; however, implementation of a pass/no pass education in the pre-licensure education can pose obstacles for those who wish to pursue graduate nursing education or when utilized by nurse residency programs to evaluate applicants. Considering these issues is paramount when implementing a pass or fail grading system in nursing education. This webinar will discuss how virtual learning labs can provide competency based learning outcomes as a creative solution to students with an interactive and application-based learning opportunity, and the evidence to support a pass/no pass evaluation.
