Could we get back to the topic of the NCLEX and leave this petty writings about differences of opinion about belief in some others arena Not specifically related to the topic.

Absolutely correct. And the majority of nursing students seem to leave all their pre reps at the door when they leave that class and the nursing faculty must reteach the A&P instead of just review prior to application of information the nursing concept they are teaching. If students have a solid foundation in the science pre reps it is much easier to grasp the nursing concepts(perfusion, oxygenation, etc). Our school worked with the science department to move to application of the science, not just rote memorization of facts. The retention of info improved for students who took their sciences at our college. Nursing is not easy and patient safety and care will always remain the priority!

Go to the NCSBN website and search NEX GEN. YOU WILL FIND ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXAM CHANGES, history of why, research completed, and the changes being made for 2023 exam and forward. Excellent resource.

It’s only a limited number of questions. Not the entire exam. Testing clinical judgement is important for patient safety and that is the priority. Application/analysis of nursing principles and theory is where students need to be as nurses.
