RN Basics: NCLEX-RN Prep

RN Basics is NCLEX-RN preparation built the way the exam works now. Written by a nurse educator, it gives nursing students and new graduates clinical-judgment case studies, Next Gen item types scored the way the exam scores them, an adaptive mock exam, and more than 1,200 practice questions with a full rationale for every answer choice. CLINICAL-JUDGMENT CASE STUDIES Unfolding cases across medical-surgical, pediatric, obstetric, mental health, emergency and long-term care. • Six linked items per client, one for each step of clinical judgment: recognize cues, analyze cues, prioritize hypotheses, generate solutions, take action and evaluate outcomes • Chart notes, vital signs and laboratory results that unfold as the case progresses, in tabs like the exam • Scored with partial credit, with a rationale for every choice you made • See your results by clinical-judgment step so you know which part of your thinking to work on NEXT GEN ITEM TYPES Every format on the current test plan, with the exam's own scoring rules. • Highlight the cues in a chart note • Matrix tables, drop-down cloze sentences and select-N questions • Drag-to-order actions and bow-tie diagrams • Plus/minus, zero/one and rationale scoring, explained after every item ADAPTIVE MOCK EXAM A mock that behaves like the real thing. • 85 to 150 questions over up to 5 hours, drawn in the test plan's proportions across the eight Client Needs categories • Difficulty adapts to your answers, and the exam stops as soon as it is confident whether you are above or below the passing standard • See your ability estimate as it settled, with a category-by-category breakdown of where you stand • Leave anytime and pick up where you left off; the timer pauses 1,200+ QUESTIONS ACROSS EVERY CLIENT NEEDS CATEGORY Management of Care, Safety and Infection Control, Health Promotion and Maintenance, Psychosocial Integrity, Basic Care and Comfort, Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies, Reduction of Risk Potential, and Physiological Adaptation, in the proportions the test plan uses. SMART STUDY MODES • Daily Review: spaced repetition brings questions back right before you would forget them, and reviews your misses again in the week before your exam • Second tries and follow-ups: a miss returns at the end of the quiz, after a different question on the same idea • Trouble Questions: everything you have missed three or more times, in one drill • Question of the Day, custom quizzes by category, and timed quizzes • Missed Questions and Weakest Category sessions built from your own answers • Daily Reminders: a nudge at the time you choose DETAILED RATIONALES We do not just tell you the right answer. Every question explains why the correct choice is correct and why each wrong choice is wrong, so you understand the pathophysiology, pharmacology and nursing judgment behind it. CLINICAL CALCULATORS Drug doses, IV rates, weight-based dosing, hemodynamics, respiratory and renal values, and more, each with the formula and notes. Save favorites for quick access. TRACK YOUR READINESS • Readiness by Client Needs category and by clinical-judgment step • Daily streak, overall accuracy and how much of the bank you have covered • Mock exam results over time, and the reviews due each day this week • Notes on any question, search across the whole bank, and a countdown to your exam date • Back up your progress to iCloud Drive or Files and restore it on a new device FREE AT LAUNCH RN Basics is free at launch.
