Taking NCLEX - RN

Published

Okay, so it turns out that I can't take the review class that I signed up for because it is taking place during the same time as my orientation for my new job as a grad nurse. Is it still possible to pass the NCLEX-RN without taking a review class??

Thanks for any replies I get.

yes, many of nurses have taken the NCLEX-RN without taking a review first. Best of luck to you :D

Totally possible. The review courses in their sales pitch try to psych you out about the NCLEX. I was nervous about bypassing it but had no time to get into a review course as I took the NCLEX 9 days after graduation. I was in and out in an hour with 75 questions.

Have you done plenty of NCLEX questions on your own? Do you understand the rationales and the testing strategies behind the questions? If so you're good to go.

Good luck, you can do it!

You can do a self-review for the NCLEX by studying a review book from Saunders, Mosby, Kaplan, Hurst, Lippincott, or any of the others that are on book shelves today.

The majority of people pass NCLEX by doing self study using one of the review books. Save the review course for the possibility that you might not pass. Good luck.
