Why RQI Matters for Nursing Programs

Skills Fade Fast
Ongoing, quarterly practice maintains competence better than traditional certification.

Reduce Faculty Burden
Self‑directed modules cut scheduling challenges and manual assessments.

Improve Clinical Readiness
Students trained with RQI demonstrate stronger CPR performance in practice.

Meet Accreditation Requirements
Objective performance data supports reporting and quality improvement.

"I saw RQI as a win-win, not only for the nursing program but also for clinical practice because it ensures mastery, not just a one-time certification."

Dr. Yolanda M. VanRiel, PhD, RN, MEDSURG-BC, OCN, CNE, ACUE, ANEF Department Chair of Nursing, North Carolina Central University
