According to the data of the National Health Planning Commission, by the end of 20 18, the total number of registered nurses in China had exceeded 4 million, and the proportion of nurses with college education or above was close to 70%. The whole nursing industry has developed rapidly. However, the Outline of Healthy China 2030 points out that there is still a shortage of 3 million nurses in China, which is far from the international level! With the aging of the population, the demand for nursing staff in China has increased greatly, and the demand for nurse qualification certificate has risen, and the requirements for nurses have become higher and higher. The increase in the difficulty of the examination, the flexibility of the examination method and the increase in the number of applicants have all reduced the pass rate of the nurse qualification examination!

In 20 13, the number of candidates nationwide was 668,000, with a passing rate of 59.6%;

In 20 14, the number of candidates nationwide was 672,000, with a passing rate of 51.4%;

In 20 15 years, the number of national candidates was 68. 1 10,000, with a passing rate of 49.3%;

20 16, the number of candidates nationwide was 6.94 million, with a passing rate of 44.5%;

In 20 17 years, the number of national candidates was 710.9 million, with a passing rate of 40.0%;

20 18, the number of candidates nationwide was 736,000, with a passing rate of 36.0%.

Data for the past three years are temporarily unavailable.

However, we can see that the passing rate is getting lower and lower. The main reasons are divided into the following points.

First, the examination questions will become more and more flexible:

Some candidates who have not taken the exam for several years may feel "more sad" in the nurse exam. The focus of assessment is to control the "flexibility" of knowledge points. It is impossible to pass the exam by rote.

Second, the examination scope of man-machine dialogue will be expanded:

The skills of the nurse's man-machine dialogue exam are the same as those of the paper-and-pencil exam. Generally speaking, when we have a paper-and-pencil exam, the knowledge points in the front part will give some hints to the answers to the following questions. When you do the question in the man-machine conversation, it is impossible to go back and change the answer.

Third, more and more candidates will attend training courses:

As the passing rate drops, more and more candidates take part in the training courses, and all the scores are based on standard score statistics, which may widen the score gap and make the nurse qualification examination more and more difficult.
