Nursing: NCLEX-RN

Where are the NCLEX books?

The Library collection includes a variety of NCLEX-RN review books, most of which are on Course Reserve.  They can be checked out for 2-day use.

Learning Express Practice Tests

Several NCLCEX practice tests, along with other practice resources, are available at The Learning Express Library

Most Kansas residents will be able to access the databases directly from the State Library's Explore Our Resources page.  The links on this page should recognize your IP address as being inside Kansas and allow you access without the need to log in. 

If you cannot access the databases from Explore Our Resources, (common for people living near the state border, or if the internet service provider is based outside of the state, like with many satellite internet customers), you can access the databases through the Kansas Library Card portal at: http://www.kslc.org.  Ask a librarian for instructions on how to obtain a Kansas Library Card.

Some of the NCLEX Study Guides in the Library

All on Course Reserve.  You can check them out for 2 days.  If no one else is asking for the book you have, you may renew it.
