NCLEX Simplified is a method that teaches in informational chunks that better prepare the test taker by instilling confidence over raw question strategy that is based on things like... the Decision Tree (ugh).
This course covers the Autoimmune, Psychiatric, and Herbal sections in full detail to ensure you're ready for test day. Learn that herbals can cause bleeding, about Guillain-Barre and OCD, anxiety and myasthenia gravis, and much more. The list goes on and on, but the info is actually short and sweet. In fact, that's the point of NCLEX Simplified. It's all the information you need and none of the stuff you don't!
As a tutor for more than a decade, I know how students learn best. Trust me to help you pass and you'll join the thousands of other students across the world who have passed their NCLEX with my teaching style.
This course is best paired with the other NCLEX Simplified lectures on this web site. By watching all of them (repeatedly if necessary) to absorb the information, you will go into your NCLEX well-prepared. For even more preparation, contact the author of this course, Lisa Chou, and ask what tutoring options are available.
