π¨ NCLEX testing 2025 Crash Course Notes: The Ultimate High-Yield Study Guide π¨
Share
Hey, future nurse! I want to share something personal with youβwhy I created the 2025 NCLEX Crash Course Notes and how they became the ultimate high-yield study guide I wish I had when I was preparing for my NCLEX.
π‘ My NCLEX Journey: Overwhelmed & Stressed!
I remember the exact moment it hit me.
I was sitting at my desk, surrounded by mountains of notes, textbooks, and practice questions. My study planner was a mess, and my brain was fried from trying to cram every little detail about lab values, pharmacology, and prioritization.
The NCLEX felt like an impossible mountain to climb. I was constantly second-guessing myself:
β Am I studying the right things?
β What if I fail?
β Why is everyone saying SATA questions are so hard?!
I needed something simple, concise, and straight to the pointβa study guide that would cut through the fluff and give me ONLY the information I needed to pass.
But I couldnβt find one.
So, I decided to create it.Β
π How These Crash Course Notes Were Born
I started by going through hundreds of NCLEX questions, breaking down the patterns in the most frequently tested topics. I highlighted all the areas the NCLEX loves to ask aboutβprioritization, delegation, lab values, medication calculations, and critical thinking.
Then, I used every trick I knew to make the information stick:
β Mnemonics to simplify complicated topics (hello, "VEAL CHOP" for fetal heart rate!).
β Bullet points to eliminate the overwhelming paragraphs of information.
β Quick-reference tables to make reviewing on-the-go effortless.
I even tested these notes on my friends who were also struggling with NCLEX prep, and they all said the same thing:
"This is EXACTLY what I needed!"
Thatβs when I knew I had to share this with other nursing students.
π‘ Why I Created the 2025 NCLEX Crash Course Notes
I didnβt want anyone else to feel as lost and overwhelmed as I did.
These notes are for the nursing student who doesnβt have time to wasteβfor the student who needs a no-BS, high-yield review that actually helps them think like a nurse and pass the NCLEX with confidence.
I built this guide to:
β
Give you the most tested NCLEX topics in an easy-to-digest format.
β
Help you prioritize and delegate like a pro (because NCLEX LOVES to test this!).
β
Teach you test-taking strategies that actually work (goodbye, trick questions!).
β
Save you from wasting time on irrelevant content.
π Whatβs Inside? (Everything You ACTUALLY Need!)
πΉ Test-Taking Strategies β Learn how to eliminate wrong answers & tackle SATA questions with confidence.
πΉ Prioritization & Delegation β The absolute most-tested NCLEX topic!
πΉ Pharmacology β Toxic drug levels, black box warnings, and must-know antidotes.
πΉ Lab Values & ABGs β Electrolytes, ROME rule for ABGs, and cardiac biomarkers.
πΉ Medication Calculations β Dosage formulas, IV flow rates, and infusion rates.
πΉ Maternity & Newborn β Stages of labor, fetal heart rate, and postpartum emergencies.
πΉ Med-Surg High-Yield Topics β Heart failure, strokes, diabetes (DKA vs. HHS).

β Quickly skim the most important content instead of flipping through endless notes.
β Feel confident walking into the test center because you KNOW the key topics.
β Apply critical thinking skills effortlessly and avoid trick questions.
