From Memorization to Clinical Judgment
The NCLEX-RN assesses whether candidates demonstrate the knowledge, skills and judgment required for safe entry-level registered nursing practice. Ainstin’s teaching encourages learners to identify significant findings, interpret a patient’s condition, establish priorities and evaluate appropriate interventions.
Knowing a fact is important. Applying that fact to an unfamiliar clinical situation is equally important.
