The NGN is a new and improved version of the NCLEX! The NGN is meant to be a better representation of nursing practice than the “old NCLEX” and now has a greater emphasis on applying clinical judgment instead of just regurgitating memorized facts.
- It launched in April 2023.
- It incorporates both traditional NCLEX-style questions and realistic 6-part clinical case studies.
If you're using NCLEX Bootcamp, you'll be prepared for every new question type.
The NGN is a new and improved version of the NCLEX! The NGN is meant to be a better representation of nursing practice than the “old NCLEX” and now has a greater emphasis on applying clinical judgment instead of just regurgitating memorized facts.
The NGN looks and feels different from the conventional NCLEX in several ways:
- You’ll now see case studies - there are three, six-item case studies on every exam.
- There are multiple new item types, including drop-down, matrix, highlight, bowtie, etc.
- All select-all-that-apply questions are scored using partial credit! So if you answer 1 of the 10 options incorrectly, you still score 9/10 on the question instead of being scored a 0%. This is good news for test takers.
- Normal lab value ranges are given to you! You’ll always be able to look these up at the bedside in the real world, so you can forget about memorizing the numbers. Just know the meaning.
So far, students who have taken both the old and repeated with the NGN NCLEX are reporting that the NGN “feels easier!”
