Study Success and NCLEX Review

We want to help you succeed from beginning to end of your nursing program.  The study success course, offered during the first-quarter of attendance at Platt College, is designed to help strengthen and support students during their academic journey. Guidance courses focus on development of the whole person as students learn college success strategies and life management skills. The course helps students identify personal, educational, and career goals and make satisfying decisions for transition to the workforce as productive members of society. The learning and self-management skills developed in student success courses can serve a lifetime. The course is designed to provide students with the skills necessary for achieving personal, academic, and career success. 

NCLEX Review, while a focus throughout the program, is specifically and carefully reviewed during the last quarter of study prior to graduation.
