Northern Marianas College 2024 nursing graduate Kimberly Hofschneider has joined the long list of NMC students who have passed the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses or NCLEX-RN.<\/p>\n

Nursing graduates must pass the NCLEX-RN to be able to practice nursing as a registered nurse.<\/p>\n

The exam tests nursing graduates\u2019 knowledge, skills, and abilities to certify that they can apply entry-level nursing practices correctly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly proud of Kimberly,\u201d NMC Nursing Department chair Rosa Aldan said. \u201cHer passing of the NCLEX-RN is a testament to her dedication and commitment to nursing, and the nursing team and I are excited to see her work alongside her peers as a registered nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n

NMC president Dr. Galvin Deleon Guerrero extends his congratulatory remarks, \u201cThe college is incredibly proud of Kimberly for her successful passage of the NCLEX-RN. Her journey is an inspiration to many, and we look forward to her future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy motivation was pursuing a career that allowed me to help others while providing for my daughter,\u201d Hofschneider stated. She also noted that the nursing profession opens up many career and learning opportunities.<\/p>\n

When preparing for the NCLEX-RN, Hofschneider found that the weekly four-hour Kaplan training sessions provided by NMC\u2019s Nursing Program played a significant role in her passage. While gaining knowledge about the type of content that will be on the exam, she was simultaneously able to train her mental stamina.<\/p>\n

\u201cSitting down for four hours straight answering over 150 questions without losing focus is difficult.<\/p>\n

However, these sessions trained me to overcome that obstacle,\u201d she stated. \u201cWhen I took the NCLEX I told myself, \u2018This is just another Kaplan session!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In advice to other NMC students who are planning to take the NCLEX-RN, Hofschneider expressed, \u201cContent knowledge is your foundation but other key factors such as mental stamina, confidence, and humility plays a big part in your success as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

She additionally emphasizes the importance of asking for help and advice in times of need.<\/p>\n

\u201cHave confidence in yourself! You were meant to be a registered nurse, otherwise, you wouldn\u2019t have made it this far. Calm your nerves and just tell yourself \u2018It\u2019s just another four-hour Kaplan session,\u2019\u201d she said. (PR)<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
