Next Generation NCLEX-RN® Exam Prep Course
This online self-paced preparation course will prepare candidates to be successful in writing the Next Generation NCLEX-RN® exam. Starting April 1st, 2023, this became the updated licensure exam format for nurses in Canada. The University of Toronto nursing faculty will share their content expertise and in-depth knowledge of the Next Generation NCLEX-RN® exam structure and foci, test-taking strategies, and effective study strategies. The course includes focused modules on selected areas of nursing practice covered in the exam, including maternal/child, pediatrics, pharmacology, and critical care nursing competencies. This course does not provide an in-depth content review for all content areas provided in undergraduate programs as it is intended to assist candidates in structuring and focusing their own specific content review needs.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course students will:
- Understand how the NCLEX-RN® exam & question formats are structured.
- Develop & apply successful test-taking strategies.
- Identify key concepts and areas for content review that are essential to successful NCLEX-RN® exam completion.
- Develop increased confidence in exam writing.
Online (self-paced) Course Content
Our online fully self-paced course includes interactive eLearning modules, links to tools and resources, a mock exam, and access to a downloadable study workbook to organize and plan your studying.

Your access to the course and resources will begin approximately 5 business days after you register and will end 3 months from the day you receive access.
