Preparation for NCLEX-RN: an innovative course. National Council Licensure Examination

In summary, a course with a content review format is frustrating to both students and faculty because an attempt is made to cover all nursing clinical disciplines in a short time period. The preparation for NCLEX-RN course format was changed from a primarily content review to a test-taking approach. The student is given a Decision-Making Model for eliminating response choices for questions to which they do not already know the answer. This was found to be a positive change for both students and faculty. This innovative approach to the NCLEX-RN review would be beneficial for other state board review courses.
