2026 NCLEX Conference Updates

all right now somebody says i love it yes i've been using the study guides oh that's so helpful for me to know i have some more big surprises for you coming in the virtual trainer just check it out okay All right, so the NCLEX conference updates what they did and didn't tell you, what they did and didn't tell you.

The first thing that I wanna say is that this is a research conference.

So everything that happens for the NCLEX is based on data.

Nothing just happens arbitrarily.

So research is my thing.

I really love the data.

And a lot of these are gonna be my observations of what was presented.

OK, the first thing is this that I want to tell you is NCBSN really pays attention to your exams.

OK.

They actually study how you behave during the NCLEX.

And since so many nursing students have taken the NCLEX, they were able to pull over a million NCLEX exams.

That's a lot of NCLEX exams.

But guess what they were looking for? They were looking to see out of the clinical judgment measurement model, out of all six steps of the clinical judgment measurement model, which one was the most impactful Do you know what I'm saying? Do you know what the steps of the clinical judgment measurement model are? Let me show you.

These are the six functions of that clinical judgment, okay, that you have to do for NCLEX.

So, for example, every time you get a case study, how many questions are there? There are six questions, right? Each one of those questions come from this model.

Did you know that? So the first question that you get on the NCLEX when it's a case study is always going to be analyzing, I mean, sorry, recognizing cues.

That's first question number one.

Second question will be analyzing cues.

Can you do that? So recognizing cues is like what information is most important? Can you as a nursing student identify this? I want you guys to be listening to me and really think about it.

Okay, second is analyzing cues.

What does this information tell me? The things that I'm given, what do these orders tell me about the patient? What does this environment tell me about the patient? If a patient is in the ICU, then you know something different than a patient in the med-surg unit, right? Three is prioritize hypothesis.

What is most likely going on right now? That's step three, that's question three.

Step four, generate solutions.

What are my best options for care? Okay.

Step five is take action.
