Learning through the NCLEX
Is anyone interested in having a regular time to meet and learn more about your current theory subject, and focus in on prioritization and rationale through NCLEX style questions? Everyone has a unique way of looking at, learning and thinking about new material. It helps everyone involved piece together the whole picture. I would like to set up (a) regular meeting time(s) on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons. It does not have to be in the tutor center or even on campus. Let me know if you are interested. This is a valuable way to learn and will really help you when you go into N4.

Might I make a suggestion?
If you are having a hard time with taking the tests and are not happy with your scores, I reccommend that you take N5 first. Mrs. Ippolito majors on helping you to decipher the NCLEX questions and you will have more confidence with the tests in N4. You can also use this time to focus in and study ahead on a pet subject or body system (or past subjects) that is (are) intimidating to you. Set a goal to do at least 5-10 NCLEX questions everyday pertaining to your current subjects. If you disclipline yourself, you will be ready for the big one after graduation without having to enroll in any extra costly review courses.

If you like to hit the ground running but get tired halfway through the semester (or your family does), I suggest that you take N4 first. Also, if you have a hard time motivating yourself into a more intensive study mode halfway through, you should take N4 first.
