Introduction: At present the number of students who do not pass the Indonesian Nurse Competency Test (UKNI) or as a retaker is very high. Various types of programs have been carried out but the level of graduation achievement for retakers has not achieved maximum results. This is because retakers are far from the reach of Educational Institutions, so that in the process of coaching such as tutoring becomes less intensive. Therefore, currently there is a need for distance learning media such as the E-learning method for retakers. Methods: this research used the Pre Experimental Design with One Group Pretest -posttest, with 59 samples of retakers  in South Kalimantan. Data collection uses observation techniques with analysis using the Wilcoxon Test. Results: of the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value = 0,000 (<0.005), indicating that there were differences in the results of the Graduation Rate on the pretest and posttest results before and after tutoring using a smartphone-based e-Learning method. The average results of the Indonesian Nurse Competency Test followed by the retakers who were respondents in the July 2018 period were declared competent there were 16 retakers (27.1%). Conclusions: the distance learning with E-learning method that utilizes smartphone applications is very effective to be used to increase the graduation rate of retakers in UKNI. This effectiveness is also supported by the maximum interaction between educators and retakers, between retakers and various educational facilities.
