Have you been receiving testing accommodations during your nursing program? Many college students receive testing accommodations during their college career, but did you realize those testing accommodations can also be provided while taking the NCLEX-RN exam?

Construction details are the most daunting component of the ARE. Construction Details are often considered to be best learned "on the job," by working through detail drawings with a senior staff member, observations on construction site visits, or conversations with contractors. In my experience, details were not a major focus in my architecture undergraduate or graduate degree programs so perhaps that is why it is often considered "on the job" learning. Despite that common conception, construction details are possible to study! So, fear-not if you, like most ARE examinees, are early in your career and have not had a lot of experience on construction sites. This post will detail ways to study construction details for both the novice and more experienced alike.

One of the most dreaded question formats for nursing students and NCLEX test-takers is PRIORITIZATION. Maybe just reading that word makes you groan? Maybe it makes you panic a little? Maybe it just makes you want to throw your hands in the air and quit? It doesn't have to be that way! There are a few ways you can evaluate a priority question to find the correct answer. And remember, this same prioritization is exactly what you'll be doing as a nurse in a real situation - it will become automatic, and you will think through this very quickly in real life. Identify Prioritization Questions The first thing to do when you're reading a question is to look for keywords to identify what it's asking you to prioritize. You should be looking for words like first, best, most important, priority, or initial response/action. Examples of these questions are: Which client will the nurse see first? Which intervention should the nurse complete first? Which action by the nurse is most ap...

In order to be eligible to take the PMP, you are required to complete 35 contract hours of Project Management Education (unless you already have the CAPM certification). This usually means that instructor-led training is required. This requirement can be fulfilled in a number of ways. You may opt to take a self-paced online course, to be completed at any time or anywhere - or you may undergo a week-long intensive boot camp and get everything out of the way as fast as possible. The cost of training varies, too - you can spend anywhere between $100 and $2,000 on training courses! There really are a plethora of options available. Whatever you choose to pursue as your PMP training, in order to fully reap the benefits, you must be engaged and active throughout your course. This will help you prepare for the next phase after going through training - studying for the exam on your own! Here are four things to keep in mind as you go through PMP training in order to make the most of it. 4 Thi...

Studying for your NCLEX unintentionally occurs well before you may even realize. From the moment you step foot in nursing school, you will be acquiring information that will later help you claim your victory of becoming a licensed nurse. Although it may appear to be too difficult to simultaneously study for nursing school exams and your upcoming boards, remember that it is all applicable and no extra effort will go to waste. Initiating your studies early on will only add benefit and less stress to your life when the time comes to be solely dedicated to passing your NCLEX. Here are some of the top reasons I began studying for this crucial exam six months in advance.
