 Nursing & Healthcare Exam Prep is a daily podcast designed to help future nurses and healthcare professionals pass their licensing and admission exams with clarity and confidence. Built and operated by OpenExamPrep, this podcast breaks down major nursing and healthcare exams into focused, easy-to-digest episodes covering NCLEX-RN, NCLEX-PN, CNA certification, and ATI TEAS, across national exam standards and applicable state-level requirements.

Created by Ran Chen, EA, CFP®, a financial professional and exam specialist who has personally passed multiple professional licensing exams, Nursing & Healthcare Exam Prep was developed from firsthand experience with how challenging—and often poorly structured—exam preparation can be.

  • Nursing Exam Prep [NCLEX-RN] 20, Surgical Asepsis and Sterile Technique

    Nursing Exam Prep [NCLEX-RN] 20, Surgical Asepsis and Sterile Technique
    Feb 1 2026
    This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: • Sterility is an absolute concept on the NCLEX; an item is either 100% sterile or 100% contaminated. • The one-inch border of a sterile field is always considered contaminated, and touching it compromises the entire field. • Any sterile item must be kept above waist level and within your direct line of sight at all times. • Moisture on a sterile drape causes "strike-through" or wicking contamination, requiring immediate replacement of the field. • The priority action after any break in sterile technique is to stop the procedure and replace the contaminated items or field.
