NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN study plan: a free day-by-day planner

NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN study planner

Your Authorization to Test usually gives you about 90 days, and it can’t be extended, so put your exam date in and work back from it. The planner spreads 33 lessons over the days you have, from setting priorities with the ABCs through to respiratory and cardiac problems, then saves the last two days for our 20 practice questions and a redo of the ones you missed. It doesn’t include case studies, so slot NCSBN’s free Sample Pack in somewhere along the way.
