Academic-NCLEX Success Coaching

Academic/NCLEX Success Coaching promotes student success by increasing the connection points between the student and their first nursing course to graduation.  Coaching is an individualized process that facilitates goal clarification and achievement.

Academic/NCLEX Success Coaching guides students to success through development and application of personal wellbeing, motivation, identification of gaps, goal planning, study strategies, time management and resource referrals.

The coach works with you to develop action plans that help you meet your academic goals and success to reach your full potential.

Students virtually meet to participate in one-on-one coaching sessions with the Academic /NCLEX Success Coach. Students may schedule a virtual session any time during their Nursing Program. Students will have access to the Academic/NCLEX Success Coach after graduation to assist in preparation for the NCLEX Exam.

 

The Academic/NCLEX Coach can assist you in creating a personalized study plan for more effective learning. Not only will the coach assist you in creating your individualized study plan but will also meet with you on a consistent basis to support you in its implementation.

The individualized study plan session often includes learning strategies and test taking techniques to help you with:

  • Managing your time
  • Organizing your academic materials
  • Taking notes during class
  • Studying for quizzes, tests, and exams
  • Confidence building

The final 16 weeks begins the final preparation towards the NCLEX Exam. The emphasis is on gaining proficiency in utilizing the Kaplan NCLEX resources and Study Plan. Focus is on becoming proficient in the steps of review and remediation, identifying areas of individual strengths and weaknesses in critical thinking and content, understanding the NCLEX test blueprint, and developing a foundation related to the Kaplan Decision Tree strategies and NCLEX style questions. In addition, during these 16 weeks, NCLEX Coaches are available in class and out of class for 1:1 virtual sessions to individually assist students on their NCLEX preparation journey. Finally, students are directed on how to analyze their personalized study journey while evaluating their own readiness for the NCLEX exam as they move beyond class after graduation and continue preparation for test day.

NCLEX Coaching continues post-graduation. NCLEX Coaches complete outreach with all graduates and meet 1:1 virtually to further develop preparedness on an individual level and to assist in completing the preparation process - offering guidance, tips, tutoring, and NCLEX knowledge prior to test day.
