Whether you attend schools like Duke University School of Nursing or Wake Technical Community College, or another school, Varsity Tutors can help with your Raleigh-Durham NCLEX preparation. The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN) are both required to demonstrate your competencies and earn your nursing licensure and registration. Each is computer adaptive, meaning you can't return to a question you have submitted, and the difficulty and format of the next question are determined by your previous answer. Even the number and types of questions on the tests differ. This means you must be ready for each exam which is only possible with a comprehensive review of the content and possible formats.
Which Topics Can Raleigh-Durham NCLEX Prep Cover?
The NCLEX-RN is 6-hours long and ranges from 75 to 265 questions while the NCLEX-PN is 5-hours and has anywhere from 85 to 205 items. Each has multiple choice questions, but the types of questions can also include multiple response, ordered response, fill-in-the-blank, and hot spots. They may also integrate multimedia such as graphics, tables, charts, sound, and video, all the while incorporating fundamentals and general knowledge areas needed to practice nursing. Each Raleigh-Durham NCLEX prep course is therefore developed to incorporate a few major categories. You can get a thorough review of subtopics related to the Safe and Effective Care Environment, including Safety and Infection Control, Management of Care, and Coordinated Care.
But your review doesn't end there. Your instructor, who has been interviewed to verify their experience in the field and in teaching students, can also cover Health Promotion and Maintenance, Psychosocial Integrity, and the various aspects, including Basic Care and Comfort, Physiological Adaptation, and Reduction of Risk Potential, that are part of Physiological Integrity. A Raleigh-Durham NCLEX prep class may review some fundamentals as well, including social, biological, and physical sciences which you may not have studied recently. This ensures you know underlying concepts that help you along during the exams and in your career.
Your instructor can also lead you through the complexities of the NCLEX format. Raleigh-Durham NCLEX prep is as much about reviewing content as dealing with the format of the computer-adaptive test. Learning effective test-taking strategies can help you approach the exams with more confidence and increase your pace. Once you are more familiar with how the test is administered, the extended length of time you spend on each may not seem as daunting.
What Are the Advantages of Raleigh-Durham NCLEX Test Prep?
There are two types of Raleigh-Durham NCLEX prep. The first is an online class run on a Live Learning Platform; using video chat and a virtual whiteboard, your instructor can lead a lesson as if you and your peers were in the room together. Log in from the Internet no matter where you are. You can participate in discussions, ask questions, and even answer the concerns of your classmates. All participants are free to collaborate and even work towards memorizing important concepts, from how to provide proper care to handling verbal, written, and electronic communications. When a topic is less clear than others, you can request one-on-one time from your instructor.
But if private instruction is appealing to you, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a Raleigh-Durham NCLEX prep tutor. You can spend as much time as needed learning a topic while working individually with a private mentor. Each lesson can be tailored to your areas of opportunity, interests, and learning style. You won't need to continue covering topics you already know. The tutoring process can be extremely efficient. For example, your private instructor can review foundational chemistry or anatomy topics or focus on maintaining patient comfort and learning applicable standards of care. The pace of each session depends on your progress, which your tutor can measure each step of the way to adapt the teaching methods and learning materials applied during each session.
How Do I Sign Up for Raleigh-Durham NCLEX Prep?
At Varsity Tutors, we know committing to extra study time can be difficult. A busy schedule doesn't have to limit you. NCLEX prep classes are offered throughout the day, during the week and on weekends, while two- and four-week sessions begin monthly. There are various options to choose from and the range of options means you can get started quickly. Tutoring is even more flexible in that sessions can take place when and where is most convenient and lessons can be tailored to your needs.

...job. I know first-hand how demoralizing making sub-par grades can be, but also the triumph of learning how to redirect focus and learning strategies while rebuilding confidence. I love to teach just as much as I love to learn. I truly believe where there's a will, there's a way, and hopefully an "A"! If you really want to understand the "why" and not just the "what will be on the test," then I'm your gal....
