Open Educational Resources Help Promote Student Success
Background:
A significant economic barrier for prelicensure nursing students is the skyrocketing cost of textbooks and learning activities. Adopting high-quality open educational resources (OER) is an innovative teaching strategy that promotes student success by making education more accessible and more affordable.
Method:
The Open Resources for Nursing (Open RN) project has published 15 OER textbooks reviewed by more than 350 peer reviewers from across the United States and Canada. Open RN textbooks have received widespread international usage with adoption by more than 1,300 institutions.
Results:
The NCLEX-RN pass rate can be used to objectively measure student success in programs adopting OER. The annual 2023-2024 NCLEX-RN pass rate of graduates from the associate degree nursing program that led the creation of Open RN resources was 98%.
Conclusion:
High-quality OER created by nursing faculty that is aligned with competency-based curriculum and the NCLEX Test Plan can help promote success for all nursing students.
