NURS 480NCLEX Prep

2 credits · Nursing · Penn State

This course is designed to prepare nursing majors who are in their final semester to take the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX®) exam. Passing this exam is required to obtain licensure as a registered nurse (RN) in all US states and territories. Major topics include the structure and format of the exam, the NCLEX® test plan, test taking strategies, and review of key nursing concepts from across the curriculum that will be tested on the exam. The course is intended to be interactive and students are given extensive practice answering NCLEX®-style questions. Students are encouraged to identify areas in which they need further study to prepare for the exam. At the end of the course students are expected to develop a personal study plan to guide their preparation for the exam.
