Since you've been out of school for 13 years, the best option depends on your current knowledge level, learning style, and career goals. 

Online RN Prep (NCLEX-RN Next Generation Focus)

If you already have an RN qualification but need a refresher before taking the NCLEX-RN Next Gen, a structured NCLEX prep course would be best. Here are a few options. This is not an endorsement, just some possibilities of what's available:

  • UWorld NCLEX-RN – Good for practice questions with detailed rationales.
  • Hurst Review – Great for content review if you need to rebuild nursing fundamentals.
  • Kaplan NCLEX-RN Prep – Good for test-taking strategies.
  • SimpleNursing – Good for video-based learning.
  • NCSBN Learning Extension – Created by the NCLEX test-maker

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
