Nurses are required to fulfill certain requirements before they can earn licensure. In addition to obtaining the proper degree, typically a Bachelor of Science, nurses will need to obtain an Authorization to Test (ATT) and register for an exam date with Pearson VUE 1  before they can take their NCLEX exam. This exam is developed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to "test the competency of nursing school graduates in the U.S." 2 A passing grade on this exam is required to begin practicing nursing at an entry-level. According to a 2020 study on the number of candidates who took and passed the NCLEX exam, 86% of all candidates pass on their first try 3 . One sure way to increase your chances of passing the first time is to take a review or prep course. EduMind's NCLEX exam prep courses are taught by nursing education experts who provide an in-depth look at each subject required by the NCSBN. Since our start in 2004, we have helped over 65,000 profes...

Companies make investments in their employees for many reasons: to help develop their careers, to support them in staying updated on relevant information, and to encourage long-term retention. One of the best ways to help reduce employee turnover is to provide corporate training opportunities. Have you ever wondered if your company's investment in learning and development programs is paying off the way it should? The benefits of corporate training greatly exceed the costs: Employees that participate in training opportunities experience increased performance, productivity, and morale- according to an article by Working Voices , "companies that invest in corporate training have 37% higher productivity than those that don't." 1 Companies themselves will not only increase employee retention but also will have a stronger reputation when they offer training opportunities. In fact, companies "who invest in training and development are attractive to ambitious candidate...

Sustainable design is still a mystery to most clients. Clients do not only fail to grasp the overall ideas behind sustainable design, but they are also confused about the value of seeking and obtaining a certification for sustainable design through a third-party organization. Sure, they have heard of certification programs that are available, and may have toured a few green certified buildings. However, they also hear about how certification programs are expensive- both in time and money- and question if they are necessary. My approach to addressing these questions and the overall confusion starts with providing an informational/educational overview of sustainable design for the client and all the key stakeholders. As part of this, I cover the basics related to energy, water, materials, and indoor air quality, etc. I make the case that sustainably designed buildings will use less water and energy and that these buildings are likely to save substantially on building operatio...

In addition to earning a degree from a National Architectural Accrediting Board ® (NAAB)-accredited program and documenting the real-world experience through the Architectural Experience Program (AXP ® ), architects are required to pass six different divisions of the Architect Registration Examination (ARE ® 5.0) on their journey to becoming licensed. Even after architects have completed all three of these requirements, they still need to meet additional conditions based on the jurisdiction in which they live. The ARE is "a multi-division exam used to assess your knowledge and skills regarding the practice of architecture." 1 The exam process helps ensure that all licensed architects uphold certain standards, principles, and ethics within their field. Licensure also allows architects to position themselves for career advancement and income generation. Many states allow only licensed architects to design buildings over three stories or commercial buildings. 2 Curious to k...

Are you finding yourself wondering " Am I ever going to get my license to practice architecture? " Don't worry, you are not alone. It's so easy to get down on yourself when the outcome of the exam you have been studying for, the very thing you NEED , doesn't turn out as hoped. Believe me, I know-because I failed every single exam. When I was finally successful in finishing up the last three divisions of the ARE in 12 weeks (after 12 years of "studying"), I looked back on my licensing journey and realized it did not have to be so painful. It was not the exam that was getting in my way, it was me , and the way I was setting myself up for failure . If I had known what I know now, I could have finished up sooner, saved a ton of money, and started the career I had planned for earlier. Here is what I found to be detrimental in my exam preparation so you can hopefully avoid a difficult journey: Table of Contents 1. Memorizing content ...
