Colleges tap technology to prevent ‘burnout’ in nursing students

About three in four students who enter nursing school earn their degree in the field, and beyond that, the passing rate for nursing students who take their state’s licensure test is around 88 percent, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). Still, nursing school officials say, students suffer from the burnout of long shifts taking care of many patients with a variety of health issues that require almost constant monitoring. Some schools have turned to a reporting system called ReadyPoint Nursing, which lets educators maintain detailed online files of each student. Using the technology, nursing professors and instructors can more easily target instruction and help students move through the program without teetering on the edge of burnout.
