Nursing students' perceptions of the technology-based tool Medical Educational Development Services (MEDS) Publishing.

摘要

Technology-based tools like Medical Educational Development Services Publishing (MEDS Pub) can assist educators in preparing students to succeed on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Since no published research was found on the MEDS Publishing tool, research was necessary. The purpose of this descriptive study was to explore the perceptions of 3rd and 4th year undergraduate nursing students regarding their use of MEDS Publishing in their undergraduate nursing program. By exploring and analyzing students' perceptions of MEDS Publishing, educators can discover if they are using the correct technology-based tools to adequately help students learn nursing concepts and prepare them for NCLEX-RN. In this study, 3rd and 4th year undergraduate nursing students agreed that MEDS Publishing was an asset to their undergraduate nursing courses and helped them prepare for the NCLEX-RN exam.
