How NCLEX Bootcamp Helped Rachel Stop Second-Guessing and Start Thinking Like a Nurse

How did you use NCLEX Bootcamp to prepare for the NCLEX?

Before finding NCLEX Bootcamp, I had tried multiple other platforms to prepare for the NCLEX, but none of them gave me the results or confidence I needed. I constantly felt overwhelmed and unsure of how to approach the questions. That all changed once I started using NCLEX Bootcamp. The content was organized, easy to understand, and directly aligned with the actual NGN-style exam. The video rationales and case studies helped me break down complex topics and truly understand the “why” behind each answer. Unlike other programs, this one taught me how to think like a nurse, not just memorize facts. The test-taking strategies and readiness exams made all the difference. Thanks to Bootcamp, I finally passed my NCLEX and started my journey as a nurse with confidence. I honestly wish I had found it sooner.

What did you struggle with most while you were studying for the NCLEX?

I struggled a lot with remembering important nursing concepts and, more importantly, understanding how to apply that knowledge when answering NCLEX-style questions. I would often study for hours, but when it came time to do practice questions, I would second-guess myself or freeze up. It felt like I knew the material, but I couldn’t connect the dots when it mattered. Learning how to apply the information in a clinical way was the biggest challenge for me. I needed more than just memorization. I needed to learn how to think like a nurse. That shift in mindset was what ultimately helped me succeed.

What is one piece of advice you would give to another student preparing to take the NCLEX?

Bootcamp completely changed the way I approached studying. It didn’t just throw information at me, it taught me how to think critically and apply what I had learned to real-world scenarios. The NCLEX-style case studies and video rationales helped me see how each concept actually plays out in patient care, which made it easier to remember and apply. The instructors broke things down in a way that finally made sense, and the test-taking strategies taught me how to analyze each question, not just guess. Bootcamp gave me the confidence to stop second-guessing and start thinking like a nurse, which made all the difference.
