Nursing NCLEX RN Review Video: Introduction
Hi everyone,
Since many of you answered my community post
poll, I have decided to create my NCLEX videos that
I have worked on for many months.
I have spent time throughout the past year and half
creating content that I think will be valuable for
nurses writing their NCLEX RN exam.
The focus is to provide a review of major concepts
that I believe to be high yield on the NCLEX exam,
in other words you must know this information for
you to successfully pass the NCLEX RN exam.
A new NCLEX video is going to be posted every
week so be sure to subscribe.
I am actively working on these videos and if you
want immediate access to all of the videos I have
created you can support me by becoming a
YouTube Member of my channel.
Otherwise you will have to wait each week for the
videos to be released.
The exam requires you to have foundational
nursing knowledge and know terminology in
various sections, therefore I have simplified all the
sections on information that is critical for you to
know and understand, this means that it is not
going to go over absolutely ALL the information
needed to know, instead it is going to focus on the
most important information that you MUST know.
In return for doing this, all I ask is that you give the
video a thumbs up or thumbs down as I use this
metric to gauge whether I should make more
videos like this or not.
As mentioned this is going to review MAJOR and
HIGH yield topics for the NCLEX RN exam.
If you are looking for comprehensive and detailed
nursing knowledge for the NCLEX I recommend
reading the Saunders textbook as it goes over ALL
details of every nursing section.
However in my opinion it is way too detailed for the
exam.
I recommend this textbook to review foundational
nursing knowledge and refresh your memory of
everything you learned in nursing school.
The link for the textbook will be in the description
box down below so check that out.
I highly recommend you watch all my videos as
these are topics that the NCLEX loves to test you
on.
The NCLEX is a tricky exam and while some may
argue that detail is important I argue that it is not.
The reason for this is that the NCLEX focuses on
being able to test your critical thinking skills.
This means you won't pass this exam if you simply
remember things, you have to be able to use your
foundational nursing knowledge that you have
learned throughout nursing school and apply it to
various scenarios.
As a result, the most important factor in passing
the NCLEX exam is comprehension.
Each sentence in the question is giving you
information that you need to think about.
If you do not understand the question then it is
going to be immensely difficult for you to be able to
choose the correct answer, so when you do
questions on practice tests and exams remember
that you ALWAYS want to be thinking about what
EACH sentence is trying to tell you.
I keep mentioning foundational nursing knowledge,
and I wanted to clarify what I mean by that.
There are certain terms and concepts that you must
know.
For instance you must have a general idea of what
certain terms mean, like myocardial infarction,
congestive heart failure, tachycardia etc… If you
need to review basic information then I recommend
buying a textbook reviewing it once and watching
these videos to get a good sense of what is
NEEDED to know for the exam.
I also want to mention that in my video series I will
be talking relatively slowly in order for you to be
able to understand the material easier.
If it is too slow for you, remember that you can
always speed up my voice using the bottom right of
this video.
Do not hesitate to do that so that you can learn at a
speed that works best for you.
Lastly, I am open to hearing feedback so if you
would like changes or improvements to be made
leave a comment down below.
So with all this being said, let's get started by
reviewing the fundamentals of nursing NCLEX RN.
