We are often asked by prospective students to
describe the PRIMED classroom experience. In answering this question, we first
assure the individual that our classrooms are not like a regular lecture. We
like to refer to the educational setting as a 'Cooperative Learning
Environment' where student-based learning operates on a constructivist model.
In layman’s terms, we move forward as a group towards a successful
understanding of the material and concepts assessed on the NCLEX.
Both our online environment and our classroom
setting build comprehension through open discussion. During the two days of
instruction, educators work with students to increase their proficiency of the
core topics that will be covered in the NCLEX-RN. During this instruction,
students are encouraged to ask questions and share their own experiences so the
group as a whole can benefit from the cooperative environment created by the
PRIMED education format and the NCLEX prep.
Students are also taught various memory
techniques during the PRIMED classroom experience. These strategies help nurses
retain many of the details outlined in the NCLEX courses. At the completion of
the course, instructors help individual students identify which areas they need
to brush up on.
The total hours of instruction are
approximately 16. But the help doesn’t stop there. Along with the classroom
instruction, students receive a 200-page study guide. This guide is a takeaway
document that helps students organize their time and their knowledge of the
necessary material. This guide is accompanied by ongoing support from the
PRIMED team.
Our ultimate goal is for students to leave our
courses feeling confident about taking the exam. The NCLEX can be a daunting
test. Aligning with the PRIMED team is the best way to prepare. We firmly
believe that our instruction will lead nursing graduates to success on the
NCLEX-RN.
