Crack the NCLEX: Strategies and Study Tools for 2025 Success
Share
Hey there, future RN!
I remember how daunting it felt to prepare for the NCLEX. The late nights, the never-ending questions, and those moments of doubt—oh, I’ve been there. But trust me, with the right strategies and tools, you can crack the NCLEX. Let me share what worked for me, along with some lifesaving tips you can start using today.
Start with a Solid Study Plan
The key to passing the NCLEX is consistency. I scheduled two to three hours daily, rotating between practice questions and reviewing content. The Mark Klimek and NCLEX Complete Notes Bundle became my go-to. I loved how it broke down topics into digestible pieces, especially with the fill-in-the-blank exercises and quizzes.
Master Clinical Judgment
With the 2025 Next-Gen NCLEX changes, clinical judgment is everything. The case studies in the NCLEX Preparation Book by Nurse June were a game-changer for me. They mimic the actual exam format, so you’re not caught off guard.
Use Visual Aids and Flashcards
When it came to remembering key details, nothing beat flashcards. I carried them everywhere—reviewing critical care meds during lunch breaks or flipping through ECG interpretations while waiting for my coffee. These little bursts of study time added up.
