FAQs

Nursing fundamentals refer to basic theoretical and clinical skills that form the foundation of a nurse’s work and skillset. In nursing school, you will have different courses teaching different principles and procedures, for example patient communication, specific nursing interventions, and many others.

The best way to successfully study the theoretical aspects of nursing fundamentals is to combine different learning modalities:
First, deep-dive into the topics with video lessons and master the key concepts with Lecturio’s concise cheat sheets.
Next, apply what you’ve learned to practical situations by answering clinical case questions in the Qbank.
Lastly, make sure you retain information long-term by regularly reviewing your knowledge with Spaced-Repetition quizzes.

Lecturio’s Nursing Fundamentals – Theory course prepares you for your theoretical nursing exams with over 90 learning videos, more than 200 Spaced-Repetition quiz questions, and concise Cheat Sheets. All of your educators have practical clinical experience, explain even difficult topics understandably, and lead you through complex topics clearly and efficiently.
Answering the NCLEX®-style practice questions prepares you to ace your exams from the start.
