“Many students continue working closely with our tutor and retention coordinator, who offers NCLEX support sessions that focus on cognitive behavioral techniques, content reviews, and test-taking strategies,鈥 said Czekanski, also a professor of nursing at La 91直播. 鈥淭his personalized support clearly aligns with the student-centered mission of 91直播 and the undergraduate nursing program, and has been well received by our graduates.鈥 

La 91直播鈥檚 nursing students complete a rigorous program that is 鈥渇ocused on preparing them for the complexity of today鈥檚 healthcare environment,鈥 Czekanski said. 鈥淒uring their time at La 91直播, students have access to classroom settings that focus on active-learning strategies, in addition to clinical experiences and simulations. These are designed to help them develop clinical judgment skills, an important focus for nurses in practice.鈥
