Student Nurses Blogging to NCLEX Success

My journey to use blogs as a resource to aid my nursing students passing NCLEX on the first attempts continues.  I appreciate the feedback and support I received from my classmates on my last blog.  I found several websites that referenced improving NCLEX passing on the first attempt.  Only one of the resources passed the preliminary evaluation to be recommended to my students based on the content for this week’s class work on website evaluation.  This document is on delegation which in integral to the practice of nursing by a registered nurse.  I will provide this URL to my NCLEX advises this week.  I did find one blog to pass along to my nursing student, allnurses.com.  This web publication has a area, Nursing Discussion, where nursing students can go to read about NCLEX study practices of recent graduates who passed NCLEX on their first attempt.   I will share student feedback on these resources.

This is a document prepared by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.  This document describes the parameters of delegation.  Delegation is a skill use by the registered nurse to transfer authority to perform a selected nursing task in a selected situation.  There are guidelines for delegation and this document describes those guidelines.  The act of delegation is so integrated in the practice of nursing that evaluation of one’s ability to apply this skill is covered in some detail on the licensing exam given to student nurses upon graduation.

Allnurses.com is active online nursing community.  The Nursing Discussion area is where students can visit and read about the study experiences of recent NCLEX test takers and glean ideas that could help them develop their own plan of study.
