The following tips are helpful to pass the NCLEX:
1. Maintain a great balance of nutrition, resting, and study scheduling will help the brain retain information.
2. Form study groups comprised of trustworthy and focused classmates.
3. Focus on understanding the material to form connections between diseases, symptoms, treatments, nursing interventions, and treatment responses.
4. Prioritize learning: Cardiac, Respiratory, Neuro, Med-Surg, and Pharmacology common medications (Mechanism of action, side effects/adverse reactions, nursing interventions), key content.
5. Practice answering NCLEX study questions to learn the critical thinking focus and rationales for correct and incorrect answers.
6. Conduct quizzes on reviewed topics by using flashcards or other nursing study quiz materials.
