8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Enfermería general & Enfermería clínica

Map the four domains against the official exam guide and list, in writing, the subtopics you cannot yet explain from memory.
Review general nursing fundamentals: vital signs interpretation, asepsis and isolation precautions, and the nursing process (valoración, diagnóstico, planificación, ejecución, evaluación).
Practice 40 mixed fundamental and clinical items and classify every error by cause: knowledge gap, misread stem, or calculation error.
Build a one-page reference sheet of normal adult vital-sign ranges and the first nursing action for each abnormal finding.

A written diagnosis of strengths and gaps plus a scored 40-item baseline quiz (percentage correct per domain).

Week 2

Explain the physiology and nursing management of fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalances, including how to read arterial blood gases step by step.
Demonstrate dosage calculation for oral, parenteral, and pediatric weight-based orders, including unit conversions and IV drip rates.
Compare wound-care and pressure-injury staging criteria and select appropriate interventions for each stage.
Summarize perioperative nursing responsibilities in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases.

A 20-item dosage-calculation set solved with work shown, achieving at least 90% correct.

Week 3

Differentiate the clinical presentation and priority nursing interventions for common cardiovascular and respiratory conditions (infarto, insuficiencia cardíaca, EPOC, asma, neumonía).
Interpret rhythm strips for sinus rhythm, bradycardia, tachycardia, fibrillation, and asystole, and state the immediate action for each.
Apply the ABCDE approach to prioritize care in three written clinical scenarios.
Identify high-alert medications and the double-check and five-rights safeguards that apply to them.

Three written case analyses in which each priority action is justified with a clinical rationale.

Week 4

Explain nursing management of diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, and acute endocrine emergencies (cetoacidosis, hipoglucemia).
Describe neurological assessment (escala de Glasgow, pupilas, signos de focalización) and the nursing care of the patient with stroke or seizure.
Outline renal and urinary nursing care, including fluid balance monitoring and recognition of acute kidney injury.
Complete a timed 60-item mixed block covering domains 1 and 2 and review every missed item.

A timed 60-item block with a written error log that names the corrected concept for each miss.

Week 5

Define the levels of prevention (primaria, secundaria, terciaria) and classify 15 given interventions into the correct level.
Explain epidemiological measures: incidencia, prevalencia, tasa de mortalidad, sensibilidad, especificidad, and valor predictivo.
Describe the Mexican national immunization schedule and the cold-chain requirements for vaccine handling.
Outline the elements of a community diagnosis and the steps of a health education intervention for a defined population.

A one-page community diagnosis outline for a hypothetical neighborhood, including prioritized problems and one prevention activity per level.

Week 6

Summarize notifiable-disease surveillance and the nurse's reporting role, including the chain of infection and outbreak control measures.
Explain the structure of the Mexican health system and the legal framework that governs nursing practice (NOM-019, NOM-004, and the Reglamento de la Ley General de Salud en materia de prestación de servicios de atención médica).
Apply the Código de Ética para Enfermería to three ethical dilemmas involving consent, confidentiality, and end-of-life care.
Describe quality and safety practices: eventos centinela, cuasi-fallas, cultura de seguridad, and the nursing record as a legal document.

A two-page ethics and legislation summary that cites each norm by name and states the nurse's obligation under it.

Week 7

Explain nursing leadership, delegation, and assignment principles, including which tasks may and may not be delegated to auxiliary personnel.
Outline the management cycle (planificación, organización, dirección, control) as applied to a nursing service.
Review the fundamentals topics you scored lowest on in week 1 and rewrite those notes in your own words.
Complete a timed 60-item mixed block covering domains 3 and 4 and review every missed item.

A timed 60-item block score plus a revised, self-written summary of your three weakest fundamentals topics.

Week 8

Take two full-length timed practice exams under exam conditions and record per-domain scores.
Analyze each error by domain and concept, and close the top five remaining gaps with targeted review.
Rehearse test-taking strategy: reading the stem for the priority word, eliminating distractors, and managing time per item.
Consolidate all reference sheets into a single final review document you can reread in 90 minutes.

Two full-length practice scores with a per-domain trend line showing improvement from the week-1 baseline.

Week 2: Score at least 90% on the 20-item dosage-calculation set; if not, repeat it before moving to week 3.

Week 4: Score at least 60% on the timed 60-item block for domains 1 and 2, and confirm every missed item has a written corrected concept.

Week 6: Correctly classify at least 12 of 15 interventions by prevention level and name the governing norm for at least three practice scenarios.

Week 8: Reach at least 70% on both full-length practice exams with no domain below 60%, and show improvement over the week-1 baseline.
