The Primed
Classroom
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.
