NCLEX-RN Crash Course

This course offers a complete overview of the NCLEX-RN exam and the essential knowledge needed to succeed. It explains the purpose of the exam, how competency is assessed, and how the Computer Adaptive Testing system tailors questions to each candidate. You’ll explore the full structure of the test, including the Next Generation format, the clinical-judgment model, and all question types used on the exam.

Alongside the exam framework, the course walks through the major client-needs categories and the core priority-setting methods such as ABCs, Maslow’s hierarchy, safety principles, and the nursing process. The content also covers the major body systems—cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, endocrine, gastrointestinal, renal, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and more—highlighting the key conditions, assessments, and interventions commonly tested.

By the end, students develop a strong understanding of how the NCLEX works, what it measures, and how to apply clinical thinking across all systems to answer both standard and scenario-based questions with confidence.
