Continuing Education.
This NCLEX review site is for RN licensure preparation (entry level for RN practice). While continuing education, by literature definition, pertains to educational experiences higher than entry level into professional practice, this NCLEX site is included here in that it may provide a career ladder opportunity for LPNs or CNAs seeking RN licensure. Kaplan Educational Centers offer individually scheduled times at various locations, 15 hrs/day, 6 days/week. The test preparation course requires five hours, is given in a simulated NCLEX testing context, and is computer-based. Computer skills are not required. Information on registration and contacts for further information is given online.
