PN Ready Examination and Remediation Guidelines
The Practical Nursing (PN) Program at Ogeechee Technical College utilizes PN Ready exams throughout the curriculum to assess students’ progress, identify strengths and weaknesses, and guide remediation. These exams are used as a formative evaluation tool and are designed to support student readiness for the NCLEX-PN.
