Event 21: Elevate Your NCLEX Performance

00:02 Hi everyone, I am so glad that you're here.

00:06 Welcome. I'm Prof Rhonda Lawes and I'm going to be walking you through this NCLEX how to help yourself elevate your performance.

00:14 So come on in and get settled.

00:16 I first want to do a quick poll as we're all coming in.

00:20 So you'll see up on the on the screen you'll see poll number one.

00:23 And I'd like to know when you are taking the NCLEX.

00:27 So you'll see the poll.

00:29 And we'd love for you to tell me when you're planning on taking your NCLEX.

00:34 So it's like the next three months.

00:35 You might have a year or so left or it's not even on my radar.

00:39 I'm just here to kind of check things out.

00:42 So if you wouldn't mind. Yeah.

00:43 Hey. Thank you. This is going to be way more fun today if you're interacting with us, because nobody likes to sit through a boring, boring lecture. Okay. To you guys that still have a year or so.

00:56 I am so impressed with you.

00:58 Thank you for getting in here and kind of figuring out what you need to know.

01:01 That's good. Those of us that are taking it in the next three months, it's it's starting to get real, right? It's starting to get real.

01:09 It's so hard as a senior to keep your head in the game because you just want your life back and you want to be done with school.

01:16 So, okay, that tells us a lot.

01:18 Thank you. I'm going to ask you another question.

01:21 Just for my benefit. If you could let me know.

01:24 How familiar are you with Lecturio? So the next question is going to ask you how familiar you are with Lecturio.

01:30 So maybe you're a premium member.

01:32 Thank you, thank you. Maybe you use the free version.

01:35 Totally get it. No money in school, right? Um, you have used it before, but you're not using it now.

01:41 Or you just watch the videos on YouTube.

01:44 So pick, as we say in nursing school, the best answer for you.

01:49 So hey, welcome premium members.

01:51 We're so glad to have you.

01:52 You're going to be excited because I'm going to show you some of the resources that you have. Our free people.

01:58 We get it and we care just as much about you.

02:01 We thank you for being part of our stuff and for taking a look at it.

02:06 We welcome you to be here.

02:08 Now, I know I'm asking a lot of questions, right.

02:11 But we're going to go one more and ask if you've been at previous events.

02:16 We want to make sure that you understand how to work our system and how things are going right. Okay, cool. So just let us know if you've been at a previous event.

02:27 That's another poll we have for you. And I promise today is not all about polls.

02:31 We just I just like to know who's here, because I want to make sure that this is a really good experience for you as you're answering that poll.

02:40 Um, I just want to let you know kind of what my background is.

02:44 Um, I'm Professor Laws.

02:45 You just call me Prof laws, usually.

02:47 Or you can call me whatever you want, but, um.

02:50 Yeah, there's my there.

02:51 Like. It's so funny. I have an introductory slide.

02:54 That's me. All right, so I've taught nursing students for a long time. My background is in critical care, and I have taught multi-day NCLEX reviews to over 6000 students. So I got you.

03:08 When it comes to NCLEX and everything I tell you today is going to be based in what the people who write the NCLEX have shared with us.

03:16 So you know that I'm not going to make stuff up sometimes.

03:18 Don't you wonder if faculty make some things up that they tell you? Now here is the coolest news.

03:25 Look at this. This is totally free.

03:27 And so I have two team members, two colleagues on the call.

03:31 One is Brenda and one is Professor Helen Farrar.

03:34 And they're going to help answering questions in the chat because you don't want me split on that. So if you have a question for me at any time, put it in there. They'll make sure it gets to me.

03:43 But here's the cool thing you see right there where it says Register here now premium members, you can go ahead and register to that too right.

03:52 And we've got it up on the screen where you see you see, you can register to that. Here's all this is. We're giving you a totally free 50 question test.

04:00 Hey, you don't want to take I know you're taking comprehensive exams as you're getting out of nursing school, and they're torturous.

04:07 I made this one just an hour just to kind of give you a taste and a feel for where you are. It's got all the newest types of NCLEX questions.

04:16 So sign up for this completely free and you'll get a report back that says how you did in comparison to others, how ready you are for the NCLEX, and don't be afraid of it.

04:26 Once you know where you are, you just take that as one measurement to know how you best want to plan and study.

04:32 So you will get a comprehensive report.

04:34 So I'm going to let you click on that right now.

04:38 If you can go ahead and click on the register here and just enter your information.

04:42 It doesn't cost anything.

04:43 It's totally free. All right.

04:46 So you're good to go on that.

04:48 She has the link up there for you.

04:50 So it really would help me out if some of you guys would register.

04:53 That would make my boss very happy, which makes me happy when my boss is happy.

04:58 So, um, these are the three main goals we're going to do today.

05:01 I'm going to talk to you about the four most important things.

05:05 If you want to improve your NCLEX rn practice, okay. If you want to be feel more secure on your final exams, be more secure on your end of course exams, your and the NCLEX.

05:18 These are strategies that I'm going to teach you now.

05:21 My doctorate is in educational psychology and I'm a huge fan of how your mind works, how you learn, how you study.

05:28 I use cognitive behavioral therapy myself, because those thoughts that get into my head when I am taking a test can be super negative.

05:37 So I'm going to show you strategies on how you can help avoid those and how you can help minimize those. So I appreciate those of you who clicked on the link.

05:46 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

05:48 Now let's get on with what we can help you with in the NCLEX.

05:52 So the four essentials are going to be really straightforward things, but they may be things that you haven't used yet.

06:02 Now just one last poll.

06:05 If I asked you right now to be honest.

06:06 Right. Your faculty is not here.

06:08 We don't grade you. But how long do you plan to honestly study for the NCLEX? Not your fantasy self.

06:16 Not the one like I will study eight hours every day for seven days a week.

06:20 Nobody can do that. No matter what your faculty tells you, it's impossible. So let us know how long you're planning on studying.

06:28 We can help you craft a plan that will fit your life.

06:31 Exactly. Now, there are some NCLEX myths.

06:34 As you're filling this out, you'll have faculty tell you you have to take the NCLEX as soon as possible, or you're going to pass or you won't pass.

06:40 You'll fail. Don't listen to that.

06:44 What matters is how what you do in the time after graduation.

06:49 And when you take the NCLEX, it's not about taking it super fast.

06:53 The idea is, are you doing things to prepare you and keep your mind in the game in that time? Now you don't want to wait years to take it, right? Some states have no limit on that and others do.

07:04 Each state will be different.

07:06 So let's get on to the four.

07:09 Right. These are the things that you want to be able to do and to get started now.

07:14 Cool news is we have, um, we are going to be sending you on my colleague Brenda. She's going to be sending you a recording of this so you can just relax and listen to us and kind of engage, because that's where you're going to get the most out of this. But it has to be practical.

07:33 I have a very short attention span, and if I'm giving an hour of my life to focus on helping myself be successful in the NCLEX, I want to know what I can do today to start making that happen.

07:45 So here are the four essentials that I want you to be thinking about.

07:49 The first one is prepare for battle and I'm going to show you how to do that.

07:53 You're going into a contest, right? You're going into that NCLEX or any exam.

07:58 You have to be prepared for the battle.

08:00 I'm going to show you how to be prepared.

08:02 The second one is you got to know your enemy.

08:06 And I always teach students, the people who write the NCLEX exams are like that. Elf movie elf is one of my favorite movies with Will Ferrell, and in it there's an ooh, he's an angry South Pole elf.

08:18 That's kind of what it's like when you're taking NCLEX questions.

08:22 You want to think about them being angry.

08:24 South pole elves that wrote them.

08:26 So first strategy prepare for battle.

08:28 Second one know your enemy.

08:30 And I'm going to give you the Intel on that.

08:33 The third one is how you take practice questions.

08:36 Probably not the way you're doing them in nursing school. Now, I know at the school where I'm teaching, they tell them you must do 100 questions a week so you know what they're doing.

08:44 Clicky, clicky, clicky. They're not really getting what they need out of it, but they're just trying to get the minimum assignment done.

08:51 Now the fourth one is to target your weakness.

08:54 So there's our scaffold.

08:56 There's our framework. That's what we're looking at. And then I'm going to wrap up with walking you through your least favorite kind of question.

09:03 It's called a prioritization questions.

09:06 But don't worry on Lecturio I do a 103 very specific NCLEX questions, step by step by step and walk you through it.

09:16 I don't just read the question to you and then tell you, well, this answer is right and this one's wrong. I hold your hand through all the questions, knowing here's how you rip apart a stem.

09:25 Here's what you should be doing.

09:27 Here's how you know this answer is correct.

09:29 This one's not correct.

09:30 Here's what you do on a question that you have no idea because that is going to happen.

09:35 But let's get back to our four points right.

09:38 First one, prepare for battle.

09:40 Now when you're getting ready for this, for those of you that are three months out, you need to kind of get an idea of when your test date you want to shoot for.

09:47 Things you want to consider is that you need to know how quickly does your school get your paperwork through? Because here's what happens when you finish your nursing program.

09:56 Your nursing program has to go through all their university stuff that says, yes, Florence Nightingale has met all our requirements to graduate for graduate from our program with a degree.

10:08 And they're and they are ready to take the NCLEX exam.

10:12 Then that paperwork goes to your state board of nursing wherever you are applying.

10:17 So if you are applying in the state of Delaware, it would go to the Board of Nursing in Delaware.

10:22 If you're applying in California, it would go to California.

10:26 So once it goes there, that particular state Board of Nursing has to again review all your paperwork.

10:34 And then it goes to the the people, the Pearson Vue people who will send you an in at. Now who knows what an At is? Can you tell me in the chat what does Att stand for? Its authorization to test.

10:54 So be careful. When you apply for your NCLEX exam.

10:58 You want to make sure that you put the email address down that you will be using after school. You need to have access for it.

11:06 So Att is authorization to test.

11:09 You got it? Perfect. Now what you want to do is once you've picked your date, you know the history of what your school.

11:41 Did you miss me? Yeah.

11:43 My my internet just decided to take a break because I was talking to you guys.

11:47 So when you're looking at your test date, remember, get a gauge from people who've graduated from your program. How long did it take them to get there at? Make sure you follow all the requirements on the application process.

11:58 It can be tricky. And then once you pick that date, give you about give yourself about a 5 to 7 business day break before that time so that you have a range. You just want that range of 5 to 7 business days of when you're willing to take the exam. That's how you determine your test date.

12:18 Next up we're going to look at your study schedule.

12:20 And I am doing this with a student today.

12:23 What I want you to do is print out a blank calendar.

12:25 Or you know what, we even have templates for this on our website.

12:29 So members, you already have access to that.

12:31 Just print out a blank calendar for, you know, the time after you graduate for the next 6 to 8 weeks, you take a look at that.

12:41 And then what you want to do is pick that range for testing, and then we're going to work backwards.

12:47 So next up, once you've picked your date, you made an informed decision on what date you're going to apply for. The next thing you want to do is to take a look at what's a non-negotiable in your schedule.

12:59 Listen, I would tell you if you were my student, and if you're kind of with Lecturio and the free stuff or the premium, you are one of my students. I'm on your team.

13:08 So please be realistic.

13:10 If you want to take a vacation, um, after school, do it. We can show you how to program that into your study plan if things are important to you. If you have a special day of the week that is of religious importance to you, it's a day of worship.

13:25 Block that off as one to not study.

13:27 If you're having to work while you're getting ready for NCLEX, you are not the first person, but you're going to need to know if you're working a 12 hour shift.

13:36 You are not worth anything studying.

13:38 So you want to go through and break, um, mark those times off.

13:42 So you see what you honestly have to work with.

13:45 Now, no brain can study for eight hours a day.

13:48 You can be geographically approximated to study materials, but nobody can be that present with hardcore studying eight hours a day, usually at the most, you should be able, you know, a two hour intense session if you stay super focused.

14:06 No phone, no distractions, no looking up things and just really focusing on studying. That's a good spot.

14:13 And I would recommend do like 25 minutes, take a five minute breather, 25 minutes, take a five minute breather and repeat that.

14:20 Now you can do that twice a day.

14:22 But if you ask me my honest opinion as an educational psychologist, what would I recommend? That is what I would recommend.

14:30 And that's going to be tough for you to keep your head in the game. That's a long time.

14:34 Um, we talked to you about the Pomodoro technique, and that's really what that is.

14:37 Make yourself sit there for 25 minutes and do it.

14:40 Now, what I do want you to do is make a list of things, distractions that you're going to use for your good. Right? Do things that you like to do.

14:50 It might be I'm going to spend ten minutes on Instagram or ten minutes on social media or whatever your favorite platform is, but you have to set a timer, right? I hope it's like sometimes you like to go outside and just take a walk.

15:03 Breathe deep. I know my schnauzer loves it when we do the taking a walk thing, but whatever it is, make yourself a list of intentional rewards.

15:13 And when you're having a hard time focusing, you just tell yourself, I just have to hang in here for X number of minutes, and then I get to go do one of my lists and things that I really enjoy doing.

15:25 Call a friend. Whatever it is, there's lots of things that you can do that make your brain happy, and that will help replenish that dopamine that you're looking for, because breaks really matter.

15:36 So think about how much time you want to give to a break.

15:40 I have to set the timer on my breaks because otherwise I just don't seem to make it back to studying. So that's why think about the honest amount of time that you are capable of studying. So if it's only very short bursts of time, it's going to take you a little longer.

15:57 If you can do those power sessions, you're going to be able to get through it quicker. Stop comparing yourself to that.

16:04 You all know the student who sits in the front of the room.

16:07 I mean, they're the kind of student where you think class is finally over and they ask another question and then you just they make you bananas because they make everything seem more complicated. And they've already got a 4.0 grade average in nursing school.

16:21 So stop comparing yourself to them.

16:25 I work with nurses all the time who sometimes like they're fantastic nurses and they really struggled on the NCLEX.

16:32 It didn't really affect their practice.

16:35 They still are fantastic nurses.

16:37 So get that out of your head.

16:38 Just because you're good in Booksmart stuff doesn't mean that that necessarily means they're going to be a better nurse. Right.

16:46 So stop comparing. You're either going to feel really bad about yourself, or you're going to get cocky, and nobody's going to want to be around you.

16:54 I would encourage you, don't delay doing a little bit.

16:57 Every day is much better than thinking, because this is what I would do sometimes, like, okay, I'm going to I'm going to get all this done today.

17:04 And then today happens and I get distracted and I do something else.

17:09 And I say when I go to bed, oh, I'll just do it twice as hard tomorrow.

17:14 Well then tomorrow comes and I find myself digging myself in a bigger and bigger hole.

17:18 Don't do that. Okay, we're all prone to do that now.

17:22 If you took your time to come to a webinar today, you may not be that person, but I know I am.

17:28 I have to watch myself that it's better to get something done that's less than perfect, but get it done and take a step towards progress.

17:37 That's what I'm looking for.

17:38 So again, encourage you to have that realistic study schedule.

17:42 Print that out. Pick your date range.

17:45 Make sure that the time that you have available is going to really work for you.

17:50 If you have nine children and no childcare, that's really tough to find some quiet time to study. So if that's you, hats off to you parents that go to nursing school. I didn't have children when I went to nursing school and I thought it was hard.

18:05 So this is going to be a real challenge doing it with children.

18:10 But I think it's so wonderful when you I see you at pinning with your little sweet families. I think that's fantastic that they're waiting for you at the end.

18:19 But be realistic if you're having to work, like I said, go around that you want to split things up by time, and you want to make sure that you are touching each of the NCLEX categories.

18:31 Now take the practice test and we'll give you a report on that.

18:34 So you know, but when everything feels out of control, sit down and write out that schedule and it will help keep your focus.

18:42 So when your mind goes south, you start thinking like, that's it. I'm going to be the one that brings our our pass rate down.

18:48 I'm never going to make it. I'm doomed.

18:50 I'm going to be the one that doesn't get it. Stop that stuff.

18:52 Just go back to. No, I can't do anything about that.

18:55 I'm going to focus on what I can do and that is prepare.

18:58 And I have to tell myself worrying does not count as studying because I am an accomplished worrier. So help calm your mind in those automatic negative thoughts by making sure you have a written schedule.

19:13 Now I hear some of you going, oh, because you haven't done that in nursing school. You know who you are.

19:20 But it really does matter to have a written schedule.

19:23 That way you can make intelligent and informed decisions and you're not going to follow it perfectly. It it.

19:29 That's highly unlikely that you would follow it perfectly, but trying to follow it is going to give you a much better foundation for success.

19:37 So you got your happiness list? We talked about it. We talked about the Pomodoro technique. Make sure you take breaks.

19:43 Your phone needs to be on silent.

19:45 Go outside, get fresh air, take your imaginary dog for your walk or real dog for a walk. And then find the people that are helpful to you.

19:54 I want you to find people that are supportive of you and encouraging of you.

19:57 Students always ask me who they should tell about their test date.

20:01 My version I told no one.

20:03 I do not want anyone to know because it puts extra pressure on me.

20:08 Well, but what about the recruiter? Well, no, they don't have to know.

20:11 Trust me, when you pass the NCLEX, they're going to get you right in for that physical, that whatever. They're just kind of nosy.

20:19 So you only tell the people that you feel comfortable.

20:22 If you have no problem telling your recruiter the exact date.

20:26 Have at it. If you want all your friends to know it's okay, but also know that you are in complete control of who you tell, and I would recommend you only tell people that are encouraging and have your very best interest at heart. So pick your people, choose them wisely, and know that the recruiters will try to tell you they absolutely need to know your exact date. They do not say I'm not sure yet.

20:54 Give them a date range.

20:55 But really, what they're wanting to do is to hop on your state's website and click.

21:00 They just want hit refresh, refresh, refresh because they want to find out if you passed or not as quickly as possible. So, um, take it from me and you're welcome to contact me again if you Lecturio, I'll tell you the same thing.

21:11 And hey, if you just need some encouragement to hang in there, then let us know, because that's what we want to do for you. We want to be here for you. So I told you we have these templates. Look at this one.

21:21 Here's a list for you. You can just print it out and you can add the things in.

21:25 This is in our full NCLEX review course.

21:28 So we created this based on we sat down and thought hey, what do nursing students in 2024 need to be successful on the NCLEX? And so that's how we created this whole course for you.

21:41 So you can be successful.

21:43 So that's it. That's the first one about preparing for battle.

21:47 Now do me a favor. So I know that people are still out there.

21:50 Would you tell me, like in this first part in preparing for battle, what is one thing you're willing to try? Okay, so you let me know.

21:59 Uh, I'll wait for you to put something in the chat.

22:08 Okay. We have almost 50 of you here.

22:11 Oh, thank you, Deidre.

22:13 Thank you. Pomodoro method.

22:15 Good. That's one I use.

22:16 Alright, give me two more answers, and we'll go on to how you know your enemy.

22:22 Guys are very shy today.

22:32 Alright, well, let's see how you do.

22:34 We'll keep going. Alright, I like it.

22:37 Same for you. I'll take that.

22:40 Yeah. It really helps if you have ADHD.

22:43 Um. Suddenly I always tell students suddenly when I'm having to sit down and read really heavy research, I want to do anything else but sit there, right? Suddenly I become Martha Stewart. I want to make my own marshmallows, roll my own tampons. Anything else but study? But the using the Pomodoro method will tell you no, you got to sit right down here and do it.

23:03 June. That's awesome. I'm glad you're going to do that. That's really cool.

23:08 Now let's talk about how you know your enemy, and you might as well look at it like that, right? Because you're going into battle and you want to be the victor.

23:18 So the hardest part about taking NCLEX is just learning the rules of the game.

23:22 And so we want you to clearly understand how it works.

23:25 Right. Because these questions are very different than your experience in nursing school and nursing school.

23:31 Your faculty kind of write the questions in the dark of night and they get them in there.

23:36 And some schools do item analysis.

23:38 I would hope most do, but some schools do not.

23:41 And that's where they look at the statistics to see if it was a fair question on in NCLEX world, this is an organization that their only job, their only focus is to prepare the NCLEX exam for you.

23:55 So they bring faculty in from all over the states.

23:58 They lock them in a hotel room, they write questions and then it goes through this massive editing process with them before it makes it out to even a practice question.

24:08 Now, when you take your NCLEX, whether it's pen or RN, when you take your NCLEX, you're going to have a certain number of questions that are just practice.

24:16 That means they've taken those questions that have recently been written, and they're throwing them out there to see how students answer them, to see if they need to go back and make it harder.

24:26 So you won't know which ones are the practice. You have to treat all of them just like they're the real deal.

24:31 But when you're taking that, know that some of those questions are not going to figure into your score.

24:35 Now there's 14 different question types now on the NCLEX exam.

24:40 Did you know that you have a dozen more different types of questions on the NCLEX exam than the medical students do on their exams? It's true. So don't be completely paralyzed by the thought of the NCLEX.

24:56 But I want you to know, like you can so do this.

24:58 You can so do this. How many of you have ever been in clinicals? And you had a nurse that day and you thought, wow, you passed the NCLEX? Yeah. I want you to remember that that You can do this.

25:13 You're so much more than a test score, but we want to help you get over this hurdle.

25:18 So we're going to. We have information on our website about all the 14 different types, the different skills. I can walk you through those step by step in our review course.

25:27 Um, there's eight different categories.

25:29 We have six topics here, but there's eight NCLEX categories and they could not be more vague right there.

25:36 When you look at studying they'll say like, oh wait, my score is down a little bit in physiological adaptation.

25:41 Wait, what? How would I even know how to study physiological adaptation? There's things like basic care and comfort. Those are some of the most famous of the NCLEX categories. So know that you need some type of tool that says, hey, in this NCLEX category you're scoring low and we can recommend for you these types of practice questions and these types of videos if you want to brush up.

26:07 So now I want you to be prepared for what do you do when you get a question and you've never heard of that drug, or you've never heard of that diagnosis, or you legit have no idea.

26:18 Do you know what the best strategy is? Stay calm. Namaste. Don't let your mind in those automatic negative thoughts take over your brain because then you're not. You're going to be not worth anything. And we can give you some really specific strategies on when you're ripping apart the stem.

26:36 And we'll get to that a little bit later.

26:37 But remember the number one concept for all of NCLEX and hopefully nursing school should be for this particular patient in this particular setting.

26:49 What keeps this patient the safest.

26:52 Okay. So that's a p word particular.

26:55 So I want you to be thinking about for this particular.

26:59 What two things I said.

27:00 This particular patient this particular setting.

27:04 And then what keeps them the safest.

27:09 Because you're going to have answers that have you're going to have answer choices at all. Four are correct. That's just how those angry elves roll.

27:15 So you want to prepare yourself for that, and you can feel free to yell at the screen.

27:19 You can rage against the machine.

27:21 They don't care. They don't care about your opinion, about their question. What they want to see is, do you, as a student, can you recognize what's the most important or the most urgent or the most correct? So I get you. I hate it too.

27:39 I don't enjoy that when I'm the test taker, but it is what it is.

27:42 And with you knowing the rules, I'm telling you, you can get this. Okay, so I'm going to ask you go ahead and put that link in. Again remember I go through all of this in detail in our course.

27:54 You're going to be amazed how it's not that much for you guys to, um, get a subscription, particularly even if you're just graduating.

28:02 It's worth it where you can get it for just a couple months and then you get a full NCLEX review. If you compare our price to other people's price of the NCLEX.

28:10 I am not a salesman, but I have no problem telling you about this because I know it will help you and I know that it's right within our nursing students budget.

28:20 So let's talk about those nine item types.

28:23 Right. There's all different kinds we're thinking about.

28:26 What do you need to know to know your enemy to be successful in the NCLEX exam.

28:31 So these are the walkthroughs that I talked to you about.

28:33 When you see which category you're kind of struggling in, you can go through here.

28:37 And then I will pop up on your screen and I will show you, hey here is a typical NCLEX type of question.

28:44 When you see a specific diagnosis, here's what I want you to do when you see numbers, here's the things you want to talk about.

28:50 Because my rule is everything from this question, what you can take from it to learn about other questions, who you're not going to ever see a specific question on the NCLEX again, right? What matters is man proof laws.

29:05 Help me know what I need to do in questions like this that I can apply to questions on my NCLEX and my other practice exams.

29:13 And that's the purpose of the walkthroughs, because I didn't get that kind of training when I was a student. And so I know that that would really help you and help you calm your nerves as you're getting ready for that.

29:25 So first part we talked about, man, you have to prepare for battle and we talked through the steps to do it. Now we're still on that.

29:31 How do you know your enemy? You want to make sure that you're familiar with the NCLEX categories, that we walk you through each one of those types of things.

29:40 And just listening, I promise you you're going to gain insight and skills.

29:45 Now how you're practicing questions.

29:47 I told you what some of the students are doing at my program.

29:50 I'm not a fan of that, but some faculty have required them to do 100 questions a week. So these guys are seniors.

29:57 They're exhausted. They want their lives back.

30:00 And so they're just ripping through 100 questions as fast as they can, but they're not walking away with any more knowledge than they did before they took the test. So what I'm talking about is quality.

30:12 When you take practice, questions are practice questions.

30:15 Whatever practice questions you're doing for school, here's the things I want you to do.

30:19 First, get a notebook.

30:21 If you're a digital person or you're a paper person, whatever it is, it does not matter.

30:27 But you need a notebook that helps you prepare whenever you're taking practice.

30:31 Questions? Course exam.

30:33 Mnh mnh. Whatever your exam is.

30:37 What you want to do is have this notebook.

30:39 And when you answer the question, take your time.

30:42 Answer it thoroughly. Here's something a lot of us don't do very well without intentional effort is you can't just pick the right answer.

30:51 You need to eliminate the wrong answers.

30:54 And then you say why that last answer is right.

30:58 So if I have four option multiple choice I'm going to look at those four options. And I'm going to say C is wrong because of this.

31:05 B is wrong because of this.

31:07 Now I'm picking between A and the leftover letter.

31:11 And I hear you saying, uh, I always get it down to two answers and I pick the wrong one. Anyone else had that experience? Can you tell me in the chat if you've had that experience very often on your nursing test, just type a Y for yes.

31:26 Yeah. Yeah. Most of us have.

31:30 I'm going to help you how to sort through that.

31:33 This one thing, if you will start doing this, you put the question the stem of the question.

31:40 That's the words before the answer choices. Put them in your own words. And then you ask, you treat that like four separate questions and ask yourself that question with each answer choice. When I've met with students, a lot of times, um, when they pick their answer and they come back and they want to talk about it with me when they're not in a stressed mode.

31:58 They look at their answer and I say, can you help me understand why you picked this one? And they'll say, I have no idea.

32:06 That's not even a good answer.

32:07 I don't know why I would pick that.

32:10 And that happens all the time.

32:11 Mona, I'm an answer changer, so I'm right with you.

32:15 But if you have any ability to like you want to, if you go take an NCLEX, you get a write on wipe off board and you can write A, B, C, D or one, two, three, four.

32:24 You want to eliminate the other three answer choices, and then at the end, make sure the fourth one is the best of those four, because sometimes you're not going to like any one of those answers.

32:36 None of them. You're not going to like any of them, but it still can be the correct answer.

32:41 So when you don't know it at all, I eliminate don't gravitate.

32:46 When you do know the content.

32:47 Same thing. Eliminate.

32:49 Don't gravitate and ask yourself at the end, did I help keep this particular patient in this particular setting of the safest.

32:59 Now, one of the things that makes a patient particular age diagnosis medications that they're on symptoms complaints.

33:07 Keep that in mind. So when you're going over questions it is better for your brain to take your time. Rip apart that stem of the question.

33:17 Make sure that you look at all the answer choices and you eliminate them.

33:22 And then when you go back and review that question, that's when your notebook comes into play.

33:27 Write down things that matter to you.

33:30 And we do a whole session on how to take notes.

33:32 But you want to write down the things.

33:34 Don't just write down fun facts.

33:36 I want you to answer the question.

33:37 This two questions, this fun fact that I just learned in this question rationale.

33:42 Why does a nurse need to know it? How would it keep a patient safe? So maybe it's a pediatric question.

33:48 And I messed up on the vitals, so I didn't recognize what normal vitals were for a pediatric patient because they're different than adult. So I would when I go back and I review that and I say like, ah, all right, I missed this because I didn't know the values.

34:03 So I'm going to write down, um, restudy pediatric vital sign, normal values by age and how this keep a patient safe.

34:12 I'll recognize when they're too high or too low and I can intervene or pick the best intervention. So don't look things up when you answer the questions, like when you're working on the test. I had a student that came to me and they had gone through the review course, and I didn't understand it because all their scores came back really strong.

34:30 I mean, like, really strong, like, how are you not passing the NCLEX? Well, you know what I found out while they were taking all the practice questions, they were googling the answers.

34:41 So don't do that to yourself.

34:42 It's not about how many you get right or wrong.

34:45 It's. How much are you learning? Now, the first person that can type this into the chat I have a present to send you in the mail. Snail mail. So it's a real gift.

34:57 Just a little one. But the first person to write in the chat.

35:00 I'm more than a test score.

35:02 Um, we're going to get your address, and I will send you a gift.

35:05 Okay, so first person to write.

35:08 I'm more than a test score. There we go.

35:10 Dana and my friend Brenda.

35:12 Can you get Dana and June's addresses and Andrew.

35:16 Alright. And blessing. Alright, now I gotta cut it off. But I have gifts for all four of you. Good job.

35:21 Because if you take nothing else away from here today, that's the message I want you to have.

35:26 So you guys just need to send us your home address.

35:28 I promise you, I'm not sending you spam.

35:30 I'm sending you little fun gifts.

35:32 Um, that will help you study.

35:33 So I have little care packages for you. And I want you to be ready to have those.

35:37 So when you're making this notebook, you've done your questions, you've done your due diligence. You answered them the way that you knew was the best way to answer them. Then when in your notebook, you're writing those things down in that format, What did I miss and why would I need to know this? How would it keep a patient safe? All right. Super cool.

35:57 So that's what we're looking for.

35:59 You read all the rationales, read the ones you got right, the ones you got wrong, and then be thinking about it in our system.

36:05 You rate yourself, like, how solid were you on that question? Were you like, yes, I totally got it right.

36:11 Or yeah, I kind of guessed or I had no idea.

36:16 See, that matters because if you got one right, because you guessed, rock on.

36:20 I'm not proud. I'll take that.

36:21 But you also want to know how confident you are in that area.

36:24 So don't take the time when you're doing the question reviews to necessarily look things up if you need to keep moving, but definitely don't look them up while you are actually taking the questions to answer them.

36:37 I could not believe it.

36:38 It took me a while to figure that out with a student, but I was just. Unfortunately it was in person, so I had to really work on my facial expressions because I was like, oh my, not a good strategy, my friend.

36:49 So this shows you kind of a little bit about what we have when you sign up.

36:53 We've got, uh, a sample test.

36:55 We've got all different kinds of practice exams, additional practice exams for you to take.

37:00 But remember the one that you signed up for in the link in the course that's totally free. And I'm also going to show you how you get 250 color sheets, cheat sheets. They're great for studying and those are free to everybody.

37:14 Also, because we know money is tight in nursing school.

37:18 So we get it. And we still want you to have resources that can help you be successful.

37:23 So this is what our NCLEX prep will look like.

37:25 It's real easy to flow through. It starts at the beginning and it will go all the way through to the end and to your success that we want to celebrate with you.

37:35 So that just shows you what it looks like.

37:38 Now. The first three things we looked at, right? The first one was you got to get prepared for battle, and that is getting your mental house in order.

37:48 Knowing what you want to do.

37:49 Making sure you have a plan.

37:51 The second one we talked about was know your enemy.

37:54 This is not a nursing school test, and we'll keep offering you lots and lots of information so you can even learn more about your enemy and what you're doing.

38:04 And then we just wrapped up talking about practice questions.

38:08 And what are the key things you want to do? I have 103 walkthroughs where you hear me walk through a question and take a lot of time to do that, so you're clear and you can take things away that will be helpful to you.

38:19 We also have hundreds of practice questions, and when you're taking your questions in school, you can use our practice questions for end of course exams.

38:27 But whatever questions you use, that's the kind of strategy that's going to make it worth your time and energy that it takes to really focus on answering a nursing school question. First time I took a nursing school exam, I studied and studied and studied, and then at the end I thought, I don't know what just happened, but I think I have the wrong textbook because I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.

38:49 Don't want you to feel that way. We want you to know that you are as prepared as you can.

38:54 And when I when I coach students who've been unsuccessful in the NCLEX, that's what we work on the most, is in walking in knowing I've done the very best I can to perform.

39:03 Worrying and stressing about it now is only going to is only going to drop my score.

39:08 So I'm going to try to keep myself focused and make sure that I stay on it.

39:13 So when you target your weaknesses, that's part of what you're using in your notebook. You write yourself little notes in the margin. Go back and review those pediatric vital signs, but now's not the time to do it in the moment. You want to keep moving through your review of questions, and then in your study sessions, you go back and do that because, you see, I have there avoid taking pointless notes.

39:32 If you're the type of student that tries to write down something, everything someone's saying does nothing for your brain.

39:38 In fact, you're just wearing your brain out.

39:40 You're wasting your cognitive ram.

39:42 You want to take notes that matter? Always focused. What did I need to know this for? Why would a nurse need to know it? How would I use it to keep a patient safe in practice and on the NCLEX questions? That's what we're looking for.

39:58 Okay, so be specific about your weakness.

40:01 Maybe you're someone who's, like, really, really scared about maternal health stuff like because you didn't like that class, you don't want to go into it.

40:08 Take a deep breath. It's not a huge part of the NCLEX.

40:11 I know that makes my, um, maternal child colleagues real sad, but you're thinking about safety, and so you're going to think about the things that put someone at risk.

40:22 That's what you're most concerned about.

40:23 So something like maternal child, you're going to be looking for things like late decels. Can you recognize it on a strip? If you saw a strip, could you recognize it? Could you recognize it? If it's written out in the description of the question, would you recognize it? Those are the types of things you're looking for and an NCLEX type of question.

40:42 They're preparing you to be a generalist, not somebody who can deliver a baby at the end of the exam. Okay, so be intentional about identifying your weaknesses and don't beat yourself up about it. We all have them.

40:54 No one's got a perfect score in the NCLEX to my knowledge.

40:57 I'm pretty sure we'd know about it if they did.

41:00 Especially with social media, we would definitely know about it.

41:04 Now, if you can force yourself to have a daily plan because this takes this takes energy. But be curious about yourself.

41:11 Look at yourself as a science experiment.

41:13 You want to always be curious about what's going on, what's helping you be successful, what's getting in your way.

41:18 We've got a worksheet that you can download and it'll help you stay organized.

41:22 Or you do it whatever your style is.

41:25 But remember safety, safety safety safety.

41:28 When you feel yourself doing that, the panic spiral that is just your amygdala.

41:34 And that's what I always say.

41:36 Your amygdala has just hijacked your entire system.

41:40 So take back the hijack.

41:42 The amygdala is feelings and feelings are not facts.

41:47 And I had a student who the only reason they failed the NCLEX, they took it all the way to the last question was because their friends took it on the same day and they left before them.

41:56 And he just started looking around and he gave up and he went all the way to the end.

42:00 He was just one question short of being successful.

42:04 So stop the panic spirals, know they're going to come, and we can help you learn how to work through those in a way that even those of you with ADHD will feel comfortable doing.

42:16 So give yourself a break in the day, as we talked about throughout your studying, but also by having a plan and committing to what you're doing, you can unhook yourself from NCLEX prep much more effectively.

42:28 So you should not be studying NCLEX 24 hours a day.

42:31 It's not efficient and in fact, the research tells us that your brain needs what's called diffuse brain time, and it will keep working on all those things that you're studying. But it needs time that's completely apart from NCLEX.

42:44 Now don't say, oh, we don't even need to study.

42:47 Our brains will just figure it out. I did not say that, but I did say that you absolutely need time completely separate from the NCLEX.

42:56 And if somebody in your study group that stresses you out.

42:59 Breaking up is hard to do.

43:01 You. But you need to do it.

43:03 You have to take care of yourself and do what you need to be successful.

43:07 Okay, so those are the first four things you may not or you may have thought about already, but it's committing to executing that.

43:16 What do you need to do in each one of those phases? What are you willing to kind of start and try? Like, what else do you want to know about the NCLEX? Or do you feel like you're prepared for battle, or you're at least going to plan on how you can prepare for battle? Do you know how you want to incorporate answering questions with integrity and In quality and using your notebook.

43:37 And are you willing to face your weaknesses so that you can help yourself do something about it? Now let's do a question.

43:44 Okay. This is just kind of give you an example.

43:46 We're going to do an NCLEX question walk through.

43:48 And I picked one of the ones that students complain about a lot. Now surprise it's not a farm question, but that is one area of my specialty.

43:55 And we also have a three hour get ready for the NCLEX review.

43:59 That's that's all it is, is just hey guys, if you study this and download our handout, you're going to be as prepared and you're going to be prepared for the exam.

44:08 And again you may see a question you've never seen before a drug you've never seen before.

44:12 But this is like let's just focus because you have more things to study for the NCLEX than just farm. So that's a an old long term farm Prof.

44:21 Who put together the best resources for you to say, this is what I'm going to study for the NCLEX and it's not a book.

44:29 It is someone walking you through and helping you make big connections.

44:32 How you can look for the worst things that can happen in an NCLEX question, because those are how they're likely to show up.

44:39 Anything that puts them into danger.

44:42 Okay, ready? Good. We're going to keep you on time.

44:46 But I'm going to talk about a prioritization question here.

44:49 Now you see all these.

44:50 It's kind of small. But you will see an example where you see four clients and they're going to ask you things. And these are the things I want you to look for when they're asking you. Now here's the stories of these patients, but I want to tell you when it's a prioritization of care question.

45:07 These are the types of questions they're going to ask you. Which patient should the nurse provide care for first.

45:13 And I call that the f word in NCLEX because you know there's other right answers.

45:18 You just know there are when you see the F word.

45:20 So you're going to see that last statement of the question.

45:23 Say things like which patient should the nurse provide care for first? What is the first action you should take.

45:30 And think about things like I like, I know there's ABCs and Maslow's and nursing assessment and blah blah, blah, blah. All that sounds like gobbledygook in your mind. The first thing is physical safety.

45:41 That's always going to be your top priority.

45:44 Now sometimes you'll see a respiratory answer in there.

45:47 And it's not the most pertinent because that's how they write the questions.

45:51 They're wanting you to use your judgment.

45:53 If there was very clear rules like this answer is always correct, then anybody could take the NCLEX and be successful.

46:00 But the idea in the NCLEX, it's all about the hand that you're dealt, right? It's like you're playing cards.

46:05 You don't get to complain and say, well, I wish I would have had this card.

46:09 You don't get that. They're saying, can you play the hand we dealt you? And here are the four questions that we dealt you.

46:16 Now looking at this one we know already this is a prioritization question.

46:20 But that last sentence, that's what these are examples of.

46:24 That last sentence in the stem of a question is going to be like this.

46:28 And when I teach faculty how to write NCLEX questions, I give them a whole list of these types of questions for all 14 different types.

46:36 But for you as a student, if you understand that's how the game is played, then you know, like that last question, that last line in the sentence, in the question, the last line in the question is really important for focusing your brain.

46:52 Now let's take a look at what an example would be of four possible patients.

46:57 So we've got patient one.

46:58 Patient two. Patient three. Patient four.

47:00 Right. Here's the strategy I want you to look at first of all for you bleeding hearts.

47:06 We get it. Everyone deserves care and they're going to get it.

47:09 But on the NCLEX they want you to know who's the most urgent.

47:13 Who's the most at risk.

47:15 So we've got patient one.

47:17 Now, you see, there's ages in with each one of these.

47:20 Anytime you see an age, pay attention because it may really make something more particular about this patient.

47:27 So they all have ages.

47:29 This one patient one had a had a motor vehicle accident the previous day.

47:35 Now thinking about what the worst case scenario is for somebody with an accident, any trauma. Well, the biggest thing I'm going to be worried about is bleeding.

47:43 So even before I read this, I'm going to thinking like, okay, trauma, there could be a problem with bleeding or tissue injury, but they have no visible injuries on the body that matters other than, uh oh, abdominal bruising and pain, but report feeling weak.

48:02 Okay, so looking at that patient age doesn't seem to be a huge factor.

48:05 But they've had a trauma.

48:07 And I already know because I took notes the way I learned on Lecturio.

48:11 I already know that, um, bleeding is a risk.

48:14 And now they don't have any visible injuries except abdominal bruising.

48:18 Okay. Abdominal bruising, we all know.

48:22 Gosh, then that's that could be a sign of internal bleeding in their abdomen.

48:27 And with a car accident, that's not uncommon.

48:30 Now they say they feel pain that would line up with bleeding and they report feeling weak. Oh, that would totally line up with bleeding because blood is leaking out of their intravascular space and they're not being perfused very well.

48:43 Okay. So I know number one, that's a super serious patient.

48:47 Now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to compare another patient.

48:50 And you can compare patient four.

48:52 You could compare patient three next.

48:54 It doesn't matter. But I know right now I have a very crystal clear picture on who is who patient one is and what the risks are.

49:03 So now let's look at number two. That's an 82 year old patient with suspected food poisoning okay. He's old.

49:09 He could get real dehydrated.

49:11 Oh, he's vomited four times.

49:13 The family reports that he seems confused.

49:17 Okay, that that gets my attention, right? Because that means this patient needs help.

49:23 Is he in more danger or less danger than patient one? I think patient one might be bleeding, which could lead to hypovolemic shock.

49:33 Patient two could also get into real trouble.

49:36 But which one is the most unstable? If you pick between 1 and 2, tell me in the chat.

49:41 Who would you think is most unstable? Patient one or patient two? Excellent. I love that you guys get right out there. All right. You're correct.

49:55 Now let's see. So apparently you guys don't care about old people. So you got rid of patient number two. Just kidding.

50:00 Now let's look at patient four.

50:03 Okay. He's a 60 year old, so we know who he is.

50:08 So I've got rid of patient two.

50:10 I'm just going to jump to four just because that's how my mind works sometimes.

50:14 But a 60 year old who had a cholecystectomy, that means we took out their gallbladder ectomy six days ago and has severe pain.

50:24 Okay, that's an assessment.

50:25 Every time you see an assessment, you want to ask yourself is that normal or abnormal? Six days after okolie, this patient should not be having severe pain at the surgical site. So this is abnormal assessment.

50:39 But I'm looking at he he could have what things could it be.

50:43 Gosh I wish I knew if he had a fever or if his white cell count was elevated. But nope, I don't have that information.

50:48 I have to play this hand.

50:50 So severe pain at the surgical site, that's not normal.

50:54 But I'm going to go back and compare it to number one again.

50:58 Who do you guys think is most critical? Is it patient one or patient four who we think probably has a really bad infection and is all inflamed? Who's more in danger? 1 or 4. You guys are shy today, right? Hey, number four definitely needs to be seen.

51:22 Absolutely needs to be seen.

51:24 Probably getting some IV antibiotics in them.

51:26 And we want to take care of their pain.

51:28 But that's why four is not as urgent as number one.

51:32 Right now we're down to your last two.

51:34 Right? Your last two. You're always worried about. So I've still got this patient one.

51:38 And remember, they've been in a car accident.

51:41 They're showing us the classic symptoms of abdominal bleeding.

51:45 They have bruising on their abdomen.

51:47 So that means they're leaking blood into their gut and out of their intravascular space. Now, patient three.

51:54 Oh, it's a baby. Okay.

51:56 This always gets my attention.

51:58 So it's a six month old infant with increased drooling.

52:01 Is that normal? No. Not necessarily.

52:06 No, it's really not. And a rash on the lip and chin area.

52:10 Okay. The mother stares states that the infant has been more irritable than usual.

52:16 Okay, so this baby's drooling.

52:18 That always makes me a little nervous because it's airway and they've got a rash on their lip and chin. Is this baby more unstable than patient one? So who do you think is the most urgent? Who's in the most immediate danger? 1 or 3. I mean, yeah, 1 or 3.

52:39 You're right. Right. Mikayla.

52:41 Good job. Albert. You got it.

52:42 Nice blessing. Good job.

52:44 June. Excellent. You guys got it.

52:48 So that is your process.

52:50 You can also do the same thing with multiple choice answers when you pick one.

52:55 Is this a better answer than this other one? And promise you, eliminating answers is going to be much better and more effective for you for raising your test scores.

53:04 So remember this question ended with which patient should the nurse provide care for first? When we looked at these patients, we lined out who we thought was the most stable. And they've got now in a trend question.

53:17 If you're taking an NCLEX question, that's called a trend.

53:20 They'll come back and give you more information about these same patients.

53:24 Right before we even looked at that, we knew who was currently the most unstable.

53:29 Let's see what's changed in patient one.

53:31 Uh oh. Abdominal distension and distress.

53:34 Dizziness. Okay. That's further sign of bleeding.

53:38 Our patient two is vomited two more times and is not oriented.

53:42 But he wasn't oriented before, and we know we need to take care of him.

53:46 But number two still doesn't.

53:47 Isn't more urgent than number one.

53:50 Number three, they feel very warm.

53:52 Yeah, they've got a fever, but not more urgent than the life threatening hemorrhage that's going on in number one.

53:59 And number four. Yeah, that drainage doesn't really surprise us because we were thinking it was an infection.

54:05 But he's not in more immediate danger than patient number one.

54:11 Now they give us in this in this trend question as it continues, they give us some vital signs.

54:17 So when you know your vitals, you take a look at these and say, each one I would walk through and say, is it normal or abnormal, normal or abnormal, normal or abnormal? For each one of the clients.

54:29 But I'm already thinking this client one and we look at it heart rate of 107.

54:33 That's a number you ask yourself is it high? Is it low? Is it normal? This is high. Blood pressure 82 over 40.

54:41 Is it high? Is it low? Is it normal? It's low.

54:45 Put together a high heart rate over 100.

54:49 And the blood pressure lower than 100.

54:52 You start thinking hypovolemic shock.

54:54 Particularly with this client's history of having a car accident.

54:57 Respiratory rate is high.

55:00 Now pause for just a second before you focus too much on the question.

55:04 Do you see what I'm doing? I made my brain make a decision.

55:07 With every piece of assessment, information or numbers.

55:10 I make myself Self-identify if it's abnormal and doesn't have anything to do with this patient being in danger.

55:19 You look that well. Client number two is also has a high heart rate and a low blood pressure. But if it's from being dehydrated and vomiting, we can replace that with IV fluids.

55:31 Client number one is going to need blood replaced.

55:33 That's a much bigger deal.

55:35 Baby number two they're fairly normal.

55:37 They've got a fever. We'll deal with that.

55:39 And number four you look at that and you see that okay.

55:42 The pulse ox there is 98%.

55:45 We've got this one at 94.

55:47 So I'm still convinced that one we're going to tell you the answer.

55:51 No worries. I can still tell you that number one is the one.

55:55 Now, when we look through this look, the worst case scenario that I talked you through, when you're looking at the question, here's where you have the documentation and you'll have a copy of this.

56:04 We'll send it to you tomorrow so you can take a look at it. But remember we determined they have a risk of hemorrhaging because they were in a trauma.

56:11 We thought they have low blood pressure, fast heart rate, breathing, really fast.

56:16 That's because their body's trying to move what little blood it has around so it can deliver oxygen to all the tissues.

56:21 That's why you see the heart rate picking up because it's trying to do that.

56:25 Their saturation is too low.

56:27 So all these things are telling me.

56:29 Yeah, these are all the signs of bleeding for this one.

56:32 For this little guy. Our patient number two, we think he had food poisoning.

56:37 This can happen with the elderly. It can happen with anyone. But they're really showing you signs of dehydration.

56:42 That's a little different than someone who's hemorrhaging.

56:45 The hemorrhaging is going to be a top priority, because this one has the red blood cells most likely to deliver oxygen, but it just doesn't have enough volume in the intravascular space. We can do that with a simple IV administration.

56:58 The other guy who's bleeding.

56:59 Not so simple. Now for this baby, they're probably just teething.

57:03 Those are all the things that can happen with teething. So when you saw that assessment information you needed to know, like, okay, that's kind of normal for a baby.

57:11 It's not really something that's dangerous or what was unexpected.

57:15 And for the fourth one, okay, we know that this person, the the purulent drainage just sealed it.

57:21 They have an infection, and we're gonna have to do something for it.

57:23 So you looked at all these patients, and here is the answer I have for you.

57:28 Correct. It is number one.

57:31 So you'll see by the green check mark on the screen that that client number one because they were at risk, they're showing us all the signs that they're internally hemorrhaging which means they're going to go into severe hypovolemic shock.

57:44 We have to intervene and do something which will likely be some type of surgery.

57:50 Okay. Now we have a couple more minutes for what you're looking at.

57:54 We have the link here for you again if you want to register for practice week. And I hope you would. I would love to see you just register.
