Library FAQs

The library offers free access to BoardVitals, an NCLEX-RN exam prep question bank. Nursing students can earn extra credit by completing questions; you will need to document how many questions you answered during the semester. (you should only count questions in your total if you completed them in the current semester).

In BoardVitals, there are various ways to track the number of questions you’ve completed (in the online version or mobile app).

Note: make sure you have submitted for grading all exams you want to count for extra credit. (To submit exams for grading, click on the "Grade" button in the lower left of the exam screen - see below). Questions that have not been submitted for grading will not be counted in your total. The total will include questions you answered correctly as well as those you answered incorrectly (as long as you have submitted them for grading). You don’t need to answer questions correctly to earn extra credit for them.
