Dear Nurse, Greetings from IPS-India! I have quickly summarized here, the philosophy & the essence of what our CGFNS & NCLEX course does for you; and have also explained some aspects of the running of the Course in India in order to help you understand how it helps you achieve success in your pursuit of the CG-NCLEX, and a career in the USA. Let me start by explaining how our Course works for you. Other CGFNS & NCLEX programs tell you - quite correctly - that they are review programs: which means they try to review everything you have covered in nursing school. Because they don't know what is exam-relevant and what is pedantic trivia. We do: we teach you only what you need to know to do well, how to remember it, how to use it at exam time. All you need to know to pass the CGFNS & NCLEX is already in your nursing school library! The problem is finding the exam-relevant topics. That's one of the big problems we solve for you! As you are aware your chances on D-day (exam-day) depend on how you do on that particular day in relation to others. You have an IPS Center now in India, which can help you ace the exam � keep you better prepared, and ahead of competition. It is extremely important to understand the process of clinical decision-making as practiced by US nurses. And this is precisely what the IPS Course strives to do. Doing any number of Questions won�t help you as much as having themes discussed logically and in their entirety by our faculty. This way you will be able to reason out all questions that appear in the paper � no matter what �guise� they may appear in! Because really, you can only have a given (limited) number of exam-relevant topics & themes. However, just the change of a word in the question also changes the answer that you must choose. One way of perfecting your approach is the old fashioned way of doing thousands of questions. Or, you could do it the smart way � the IPS way � i.e. do the IPS �CG-Plus� themes, have these themes explained in detail by our faculty, and then ofcourse read some more �around� these themes that have been discussed for you on that given day. This way, not only will you understand the whole topic, you will be able to answer all possible variations of the questions that can possibly be constructed on this topic. Our results vouch for the fact that our approach is vastly superior. The Course is ten (10) weeks in duration but if you are prepared to put in extra hours at our Center, it should be possible to do it in eight (8). Should you then decide to stay on with us for longer (i.e. choose to spend more time than others on a particular topic you feel you have to work harder on with us), you are welcome. Regarding when you should do the Course: I feel the perfect time - (for a person sitting the exam anytime in the next few months) - to do the Course is now: It really isn�t necessary for you to complete all your revision before taking the Course with us. In fact if you do it right away, you might be able to orient yourself better toward CGFNS & NCLEX. And then you might want to tailor your future study accordingly. So, if you do the Course early in your CGFNS & NCLEX preparation, it would be of high value for your exams. But remember: this course is meant for a nurse at any stage in revision. Some nurses come to gain a focused view of revision requirements; other nurses attend to �polish up� their knowledge base just before their exams. So any which way you look at it, the Course only works to your advantage. An all-star faculty teaches you, which is otherwise not possible. These are practicing Consultant doctors & nurses of the highest caliber and are great teachers of Clinical Medicine. Remember the exam discusses ONLY Clinical topics. Normally a Course starts every 2nd Monday of the month. This ensures that there are enough number of CGFNS & NCLEX-takers starting and going through the Course with you, should you desire to interact and study with the group. Our Teaching Center is in an exclusive residential area, which is also very centrally located. The environs in-Center and around, are very conducive to serious studying. The accommodation too (if required by you) is sited very close to the Center, so that you get all the time to maximize your efforts in your CGFNS & NCLEX preparation. We are on call for you until to achieve CGFNS & NCLEX success. Call or e-mail ANYTIME - 24x7 - with any queries you may have regarding our Course. You are a professional, just as we are at IPS. Contact me directly. I really mean it! I'll respond to you personally. Join our family, and tell your friends about our exciting preparatory Course. Best wishes, Director, CG-NCLEX Prep |
