Should you begin studying the NCLEX-RN early?

Posted almost 5 years ago Hi Everyone~ I'll be entering into nursing school Spring of 09' and wanted to know if it is a good idea to start reading study manuels for the NCLEX-RN? Is it a waste of time to start early without the curriculum, or should I definitely wait to glance over the material once I'm well into the program? I appreciate any and all thoughtful advice. Thanks! |

| Posted almost 5 years ago It isnt going to make sense until you have learned/practised in school/ clinicals.It may even frustrate you more.Try to develop good study habits and test taking skills..Good luck!! |

| Posted almost 5 years ago You should start early, but starting before you've got most of your nursing school done will be a waste of time. Wait until you've got the knowledge under your belt, then start studying a couple/few months before the test. |

| Posted almost 5 years ago If you are seriously pursueing nursing there are great tools out there such as "NCLEX Review 3000: Study Software for NCLEX-RN (User's Manual with CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh)" which you can begin using- without a nursing background it will be a challange but the CD format allows you to look at the rationale and critical thinking behind the questions/answers and breaks materials down into various disciplines- our students begin using this as they enter the program- NA's in our department who are serious about nursing are utilizing it beforee they begin nursing classes. Best of luck! |
