The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NGN) is a standardized test that the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) has introduced to determine if a candidate is ready to be licensed as an entry-level nurse in Australia.
What is Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)?
Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)
The National Council Licensure Examination (NGN) was developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing. This is a prerequisite examination for graduate nurses in the United States and Canada. In early 2020, Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) adapted this concept for their new program named Outcome Based Assessment (OBA) for Stream B candidates.
The OBA was established as a consistent approach for Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQN) across the globe. This assessment is divided into two categories: MCQ/NGN and OSCE as preparatory exams before they begin to practice as entry-level nurses. If a student has previously passed the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) from the US and Canada, score transfer can be done as long as it is within the 10 years validity period. Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) can be taken in any country that administers the exam. Once Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) has been cleared, a student automatically proceeds to the OSCE stage, which is a practical examination that is taken in Adelaide, Australia.
Nurse Assist International (NAI) pioneered at providing holistic and high-quality education for Australian Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) and OSCE preparation to onshore and offshore students. Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) has four major categories and eight subcategories that measures a candidate’s minimum competency needed to provide safe and effective nursing care to clients. It is also a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) that allows a student to get easy to hard level questions depending on one’s response to the previous one. The computer will stop giving questions once it has determined a student’s level of competence.
Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) requires high cognitive ability and critical thinking skills of a nurse. NAI is the best institution to provide Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) preparation classes. We provide a study plan for the course, so every student could set up their mind and focus on working together with the educators toward success. Comprehensive teaching, mock tests, test taking strategies, and final coaching will prepare you for this examination.
Aside from the guidance of our educators, we also require our students to be responsible and give their 100% effort. One’s commitment to attend coaching classes as well as putting heart and time to reading and answering practice questions will serve as a foundation in achieving success. NAI will help you hone your nursing knowledge and put it into application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of various nursing processes. Students are also encouraged to take notes, participate and share thoughts and ideas during classes. This will provide knowledge retention, hence, high chances of passing.
