Lecturio and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing Unite to Elevate Nursing Education
In an exciting development for nursing students and educators, Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma) has forged a strategic partnership with Lecturio, recognized as the forefront digital education platform in healthcare. This collaboration is set to provide Sigma's members with exclusive access to Lecturio's innovative NCLEX® preparation resources, which are designed to empower a new generation of nursing professionals.
The Partnership's Vision
The focus of this partnership is clear: to enhance the quality of nursing education and improve outcomes on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Starting immediately, members of Sigma will benefit from discounted access to a robust NCLEX review course that combines cutting-edge technology with proven educational strategies. Students can look forward to an extensive library featuring a next-generation question bank, in-depth expert walkthrough videos, personalized AI tutoring, and customized study plans — all tailored to their unique learning styles.
As Sigma’s CEO, Lucas M. Davis, aptly stated, "This partnership enables us to provide our members with access to the most comprehensive and evidence-based NCLEX prep solution on the market," emphasizing Sigma's commitment to empowering its community of nursing students, educators, and institutions.
Exclusive Benefits for Sigma Members
The new partnership comes with a plethora of exclusive benefits aimed at significantly improving the learning experience for nursing students. For instance, Sigma's members preparing for NCLEX can take advantage of:
- - A comprehensive NCLEX review course with a robust question bank
- - Adaptive learning plans tailored to students' progress and understanding
- - Access to Lecturio's full nursing curriculum covering essential subjects such as pharmacology, clinical skills, and pathophysiology.
Moreover, Lecturio will host members-only events, including live webinars and blended classroom NCLEX prep courses, which are essential for engaging students and aiding them throughout their examination journeys. Additionally, Sigma member educators will receive special access to Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) item-writing tools and aligned curriculum resources, ensuring they are well-equipped to teach their students effectively.
Supporting the Nursing Workforce
Dr. Rhonda Lawes, Chief Nursing Officer at Lecturio, emphasizes the importance of their collaboration, stating, "We're honored to support Sigma's student members with a holistic learning platform that not only prepares them for exam success but also equips them to deliver safe and effective patient care from day one in practice." This partnership arrives at a crucial time, given the ongoing nursing shortage. By improving NCLEX pass rates, both organizations aim to strengthen the pipeline for future nursing professionals capable of delivering high-quality healthcare.
With statistics revealing an NCLEX-RN® pass rate of around 89% for US-educated first-time test takers in 2024, this collaboration aims to boost that number by ensuring students benefit from tailored, science-based learning support.
