Picmonic for Nursing beta has been launched as research-proven study aid that uses pictorial mnemonics to help students excel in their nursing studies and improve performance on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX exam). Picmonic is headquartered in Tempe.

Based on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing’s Exam Statistics & Publications, almost 90,000 (30 percent) of all nursing student exam takers did not pass the NCLEX® exam in 2014 —an increase of 3 percent from 2013.

Research shows that by transforming traditional text-based information into vivid, interactive Picmonics, students can increase their long-term memory retention by more than 300 percent and improve exam performance by 50 percent. More than 28,000 nursing students have already been using the Picmonic for Nursing beta with success.
