RNtertainment: The NCLEX Examination Review Game, 2nd Edition

I bought this game to study for the NCLEX-PN in 2024 and I passed on the first try, with the test shutting down at the minimum number of questions! I took this game into play with my classmates as well on a day when we all had to bring or create a game, and it was very well received and my instructor thought the questions were well written and applicable for both RN and PN level. We all enjoyed the game and got good study time out of it. I did find a duplicate card or two, but overall, it is well worth the money in my opinion.

My students enjoy playing this and find it helpful.

I am an instructor for nurses at a local college. I am always trying to find fun ways for my students to learn. I have not tried it yet, but I after review of the product, I know my students are going to love it. I will give an update after I have used it with my class.

It’s a good study tool. There are a few questions I thought were poorly worded and I discarded them. But I’d say 96% of the questions are solid quality, and there’s A LOT of them, so you get your money’s worth I guess. I played with some non-nursing people and they could barely read half the cards 😆 in their defense, medical terminology is tricky though. So yeah it’s not much of a drinking game, all the cards are pretty wordy. I felt like drinking while reading the game cards made me tired and sad. Alcohol is a depressant anyway. Maybe the new edition of NCLEX will be wordy with how they write their questions? But the 2021 version of questions were pretty bare bones/vaguely written/short, sweet, to the point. That was my experience anyway.

I loved the concept of this and had great intentions to play with classmates however, life kept us from doing that!

I took the NCLEX Jan 2017 after graduating Dec 2016 with my BSN. I did not take any review courses. I studied for about 5 hours combined and took the test as soon as possible. There were questions that were almost identical to those on the cards from this game. I didn’t really use it as a game, I just made statements out of the questions. Very helpful! I have it to other classmates and classes that followed me and they all agreed! Passed the NCLEX with just 75 questions in under an hour. And no I’m not some brainiac. I knew i had failed the test (which supposedly is a good sign). My gpa was around 3.2. You can study too much! It’s more about critical thinking. The real learning begins once you start working. Good luck to all!

This was just about the only thing I used to study for the NCLEX (I only did one chapter of my Saunders review book) and I passed with 100 questions, the majority of which were select all that apply (it was as agonizing as it sounds). My friends and I LOVED the study groups we had with this game, and would change the rules to suit our needs (we had a 3 correct question max before it was the next persons turn). I played with as few as 2 players all the way up to 9, we would use lego minifigs for the additional players. With the rationals it helped us all discuss questions that were answered incorrectly. Everyone in our nursing class that has played this game has passed the NCLEX (some with 75, a couple all the way up to the full 265) and now those that haven't taken it are asking to borrow it so they can use it too. We did find a question or two that had errors but overall I recommend it to anyone.

Decent product for changing up study time, however, the questions are not always clear and the rationale is also not clear. If you like Elsevier products or are preparing for your end of semester HESI exam, this product may work for you.

This game makes studying for the NCLEX fun. Giving random questions in different categories, makes you think about the situations, rules , ect pertaining to the nursing field. Playing this game with people that do not have an education in nursing, is still fun, and creates a lot of discussion, helping to rationalize the reasons why the rules and practices of nursing are the way they are.

This is a good study tool and an entertaining way to do so.

So many questions! It's awesome to have a different/fun way to study, especially when we are all stressing about the NCLEX. This games offers so many questions in multiple categories. The rules are simple and the game is straightforward. My friends love it as well!

A great game and study tool. It was missing a game piece when I got it though. Overall a great purchase.

This was a really great way to study for the NCLEX. It was fun and interactive and we learned a lot from using it!
