Bridging the readiness gap: advancing clinical competency and ensuring real-world readiness with HESI's Clinical Practice Readiness Assessment

With rising demands for competency-based education and increased scrutiny of clinical preparedness, nursing programs need reliable tools to evaluate students’ readiness for practice. This on-demand micro-webinar introduces the HESI Clinical Practice Readiness Assessment (CPRA) - a valid and objective solution that uses high-fidelity, conversation-driven simulations and NCLEX-style decision points to deliver meaningful insights. Learn how CPRA helps faculty close the clinical readiness gap, support student success, and align outcomes with healthcare employer expectations.
