Nclex Readiness-Remediation Across The Curriculum: Begin With The End In Mind, Beth L. Kaskel Dr., Nila Reimer, Cheryl Lynn Rockwell, Becky A. Salmon

Becky A Salmon

Nursing faculty are sometimes challenged when leading students to successful completion of nursing exams including the NCLEX. It is essential that faculty identify specific learning barriers for students who are challenged with nursing exams. Nursing faculty have reported various methods of remediation to enhance students’ readiness for taking nursing exams in preparation for the NCLEX. Although test review sessions, guided imagery, and assessments of learning styles are common strategies reported by faculty to provide remediation for students who are preparing for nursing exams, the literature reveals minimal evidence to support these strategies. Nursing faculty at IPFW have expanded on common …
