The NCLEX-How to prepare and pass this TEST. You must have self confidence. The key is being prepared. Preparing for the NCLEX starts when you start nursing school. Your exams for nursing classes are the beginning of this adventure. Questions are structured in the same manner as the actual NCLEX. They are multiple choices (for the most part).
Containing the course text, registration instructions, and extra study guides and materials. The Pearls for NCLEX Review On-Demand Video Course. Recent seminar participants had this to say about “The Pearls. The PN Pearls for NCLEX Review Course Author: Cynthia Liette. Practice questions related to Mastectomy Nurse-NCLEX RN.
Two answers are usually very similar and seem correct. One answer is MORE correct than the other. Confidence comes from practice.
You should be doing practice question throughout your nursing school. Most nursing classes have a textbook that includes a disc or website for additional study. Use these tools. Have a plan when you are going to take the NCLEX. You should have a written plan your final semester of school. When do you graduate? How soon after your schooling ends will your documentation is processed with the state?
When does your employment as a nurse start? Once you have a timeline with these answers you can determine how much time you actually have. You do not want to put off taking the NCLEX after graduation. I would not encourage more than 90 days. Your confidence level will decrease with the passage of time. When ever you feel you are ready is NOT a plan.
Breaking down the multiple choice questions: How to Choose the Right Answer. Choose answers that match the question.
Make sure if the question is asking about comparing two items you are picking the analysis answer. Remember the Nursing Process: Assessment, Analysis, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation. Look for the key words: ANALYSIS-diagnose, contrast, compare, analyze order, prioritize, define, classify, categorize, synthesize, sort and arrange. ASSESSMENT-observe, gather, collect, differentiate, assess, recognize, detect, distinguish, identify, display, indicate and describe.

IMPLEMENTATION-document, explain, give, inform, administer, implement, encourage, advise, provide and perform. EVALUATION-monitor, expand, evaluate, synthesize, determine, consider, question, repeat, outcomes, demonstrate and reestablish. Priority of care is the next concern. Remember there is an order to care.
Always ook for the safe and effective care environment first-your ABC’s of care (airway, breathing and circulation). Your patient needs to be stable. Make sure you address any abnormal vital signs.
Physiologic integrity is next; this is the basic medical-surgical direct care. This is simply taking care of business: give medicines, address wounds etc. Following basic care is Psychosocial integrity. This is dealing with the patient’s stress, anxiety and coping with the illness.
Take care of the emotional elements of the patient. The last priority is Health maintenance-teaching, disease prevention and assessing for risk factors. These are future aspects of the patients care. Remember these words are usually rabbit trails: all, always, never or none. In real life nothing is ever all, always, never or none.
Look for the answer that restates the question. Also, pills or medicine is not always the answer. For example and question about pain could be simple reposition the patient or look at a tight dressing. What are you using as study resources?
This can be overwhelming since there are many resources out there. First, does your school assist in paying for any additional study help? Kaplan or ATI are two of the most popular test prep resources. Kaplan will give you 21 hours of class time that teaches critical reasoning strategies and more than 3000 practice questions. You can take a Kaplan course locally or you can participate online with a 90 day access to valuable resources. ATI is another excellent resource. They offer a similar program which includes video and written materials.
Both programs are excellent but can be budget busters if your school or future employer does not reimburse costs. Test prep books- There are many test prep books, almost too many to choose from. Once schooling is over you should NOT be reading massive amounts for the NCLEX test preparation. Your will only confuse yourself and your anxiety will increase.
You will feel like you never will know enough. Your school prepared you-believe that. Your books should be books of questions or simply pearls of wisdom.
These are good resources: Lippincott’s Review for NCLEX-RN, Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination and Mosby’s Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN. These three publishers are the same publishers of your nursing text books. Which publisher did you prefer in school? Browse the web and check out these difference resources. Each book comes with computer disks for lots of real life practice questions. Once you have decided your time line (30-90 days) and your study materials you must devise an actual study plan. Do questions every day.
Even your cell phone can now load an app for NCLEX questions. The plan has to be consistent study periods but not overwhelming session times. Start with 15-20 questions. Go over the answers you missed. You must understand why the answer you picked is wrong. Increase your questions each day based on your available time. Once you are passing your practice tests with 75-80% you are ready.
Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to drive to the test area. Know where you are going. If you are unfamiliar with the area-do a test run. This will ease anxiety greatly. Sleep well the night before.
Do not have a last minute study session. Remember do not second guess your self and change answers. The only time you change an answer is you are absolutely sure about the correct answer.
If the test does not shut off at 75 questions, stop and take a break. Get up stretch, just because the computer did not shut off does not mean you are failing. It simply means the range of questions and the number of right questions in a row has not been to the appropriate level programmed. You may only have 10 more questions and it will shut off. Do not panic.
Take a deep breath and continue on. You have prepared well and you know your material. Stop looking at the numbers and the test will be over shortly.
Prepare well and you will have great results!
