With the Next Generation NCLEX possibly launching in 2023, students who are beginning nursing school in 2021 are understandably asking a lot of questions about the NCLEX and the potential new format they’ll be facing after graduation.

In this episode we’ll talk through:

  • What the NCLEX is
  • How the NCLEX and adaptive testing work
  • Current NCLEX question types
  • Changes coming with the Next Generation format
  • The core foundation principals the exam assesses as it determines if you are ready for practice!
