A nursing student is planning to apply to take the NCLEX-PNÆ. The student wants to study for the test and take a family trip to Europe for 3 weeks. Choose the best action the student should take?
A) Apply for the exam right after the trip is completed, and review ongoing during school and practice questions daily until writing the NCLEX-PNÆ.
B) Apply for the exam after graduation, and once receiving e-mail authorization to test, make an appointment to write the exam after the trip and the review is completed.
C) Apply for the exam before graduation and study for the exam during the trip and take it upon return to the United States.
D) Apply for the exam within 45 days of calling to schedule writing the NCLEX-PNÆ, which will give ample time to study and go on the trip.
Ans: A
Feedback:
Once the candidate calls for the test through application, there are 30 days of time to take the test. Repeat applicants have a 45-day window to schedule the test. Trying to study during the trip may be disastrous and take away from the family trip. It is best to study for the NCLEX-PNÆ ongoing throughout nursing school and to continue the review process by practicing questions daily until writing the exam. Daily practice continues the reinforcement of past learning through application of content to clinical situations presented through questions. Applying after the vacation also provides some time to perform a concentrated review, in addition to the ongoing review throughout school.
