Watch me on UWorld for test taking tips on physiological integrity! Tip #1 - if it’s an NCLEX question related to a procedure learned in nursing school, visualize the procedure. What are the steps for urinary catheterization? Use this process to narrow it down the right answer! Tip #2 - if the NCLEX question asks what would you as the nurse do FIRST? If there’s only one thing you can do for the client, what’s the most important thing you could do? Tip #3 - if the NCLEX question ask what’s the PRIORITY as the nurse, use ABC’s airway, breathing, circulation to answer the question correctly.

How many hours daily should you study for the NCLEX exam? Nursing students don’t need to study for “set” number of hours daily. Do this instead: if you’re working do 25 client needs questions and 25 content questions daily. If you’re a non- working nursing student, do 30 client needs questions and 30 content questions daily. Add 5 pharmacology questions a day as these can be a bit harder & take more time! Remember it’s not a certain number of hours of studying it’s .. understanding, breaking down the questions, keywords, & rationales are vital for success!

How important are candidate performance reports when nursing students fail NCLEX? Candidate performance reports aré important but there are a few caveats.. The first caveat: if you’ve failed NCLEX ex several times your candidate performance report may not be as accurate. Scoring may go up or down in the client needs areas. Scoring may be lower due to stress, anxiety, or getting content questions you were unfamiliar with. If you’ve failed NCLEX exam once, use your candidate performance report to look at areas of possible weakness. But, don’t hyperfocus on client needs areas that you scored below passing in. Instead, use a well rounded approach and study all the client needs areas equally. Hit that follow button for more NGN/nursing school tips!

POV: Nursing students: “We were told not to study for NCLEX.” Nursing students come to me for NCLEX tutoring and this is stated by many students over and over. My concern with this statement is where is the evidence based practiced to back this statement? I have yet to find any evidence to support this statement. If this statement were true, NCLEX content writers would be out of jobs and qbanks such as Saunders, Kaplan, and UWorld wouldn’t be resources for nursing students. Let’s change the rhetoric to one that’s based in science not in he said/she/said.
