Each case study presents real-life, complex clinical situations that mimic the new Next Gen NCLEX (R) format and align with the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, building the clinical judgment skills needed to be practice-ready nurses and to prepare for the Next Gen NCLEX (R) with confidence. ASSESS-Quizzing Quizzing assignments use NCLEX (R)-style questions for assessment and remediation.
