How Learning Science Strategies Steer Nurse Practitioner Education Success

Reduce student attrition, improve AANP^® and ANCC^® first-time pass rates with methods that improve retention and develop higher-order thinking skills

Nurse practitioner programs and faculty must help students overcome learning barriers and optimize their exam prep to ensure success on certification exams such as the AANP^® or ANCC^®. How do educators achieve this without stretching themselves too thin?

Learning science is the answer, offering research-proven strategies that empower educators to improve student engagement, leading to concept mastery and better retention while supporting the development of higher-order thinking skills. Simultaneously, educators can leverage data-driven insights to implement precision learning and target specific content areas—such as the 3Ps—that students may struggle with.
