Nursing School NCLEX Prep Reviews

NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep has potential to be helpful for preparing for the nclex but it needs a lot of upgrades. NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep might be better for someone that is still in nursing school, but not for someone preparing to take the nclex. I would not bother wasting your money buying access to the nclex content. If you need help reviewing content then purchase access to the Library content which will provide you with access to the videos, study guides, and quiz bank. The study guides were helpful. But onto the reasons why I gave NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep 3 stars. The videos need to be upgraded to match the quality of the newer videos. When taking exams, NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep would mark the question wrong when I answered it correctly, which isn’t helpful when trying to track your progress. Also, there needs to be a way that NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep tracks what questions you complete so people are not getting repeat questions.

I’m going to stick with Picmonic until the quiz bugs are fixed. I don’t think I’ve used an app with so many random bugs. Yea they usually fix them, but goodness. The quiz bank select all and video audio are currently bugging out. I’ve never felt the need to write a review about the bugs until now as I use the quiz feature quite regularly. Something I’d like to see once the bugs are fixed is an option to save the quiz criteria I’ve selected and retake it with new set questions, so that I don’t have to continually create the same quiz just to switch the questions out. Currently you can retake the quizzes using the exact same questions. Let us have the option to shuffle the question bank for previously completed quizzes at least. Oh and the scrolling that is localized on the question only is insanely annoying. A four lined question doesn’t need it’s own scroll, it just makes it more difficult to view the entire question. I don’t understand why this was implemented.

It has a log of amazing study guides. Has a lot of usual videos if you are a visual learner. The things I do not like about the simple nursing is the program is intended for both lVN and RN. So a lot of the questions that pop up an LVN would not be able to answer. It was information I learned in RN school and not in LVN school. The other very frustrating part is the exam prep is offered to see if you are ready to take the NCLEX, but I would say almost 1/3 of the questions are select all that apply if not more. You are also not able to see the ones you missed in exam mode. Another thing that is frustrating is when you are taking the exam it will either kick you out and you can’t see your score or it will close and you can’t see your score. As a LVN I preferred Lipoincott the point, and as a RN I prefer Kaplan over simple nursing. It definitely has a lot of great study information and great tips, but the exams themselves did not prepare me for my NCLEX like Lippincott did.

My rating has to do with NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep only. The videos play smoothly with the one exception of there being no sound. I have tried with and without headphones and my speakers work fine with other videos and music. I’ve looked online for suggestions, checked their website, and tried to find a settings menu for NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep on my phone with no success.

I have a 0% progress bar that I believe has to do with downloading files, but it hasn’t moved in 8 hours and isn’t interactive.

So why 3 stars if I can’t use one of the primary functions? Well the quizzes are still insanely helpful, and I can still pull up the website and watch the videos through my browser. NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep has great potential, it just needs a settings menu and an easier way to troubleshoot technical difficulties.

Simple nursing helped me so much retain knowledge and confidence as I am now in ny second year of nursing school in a ADN program. Study guides, videos, sample questions per subject is amazing. I wouldn’t not able to get through school without this tool. Out of all the tools we use as students this is the tool that you will use as a crutch to be a clutch student. 4/5 stars given because I have not been able to use NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep on my phone their is a kink in the initial log in that prevents the connection. So I have to have desk top setting.
Customer service is wonderful though.

I'm foreign trained nurse. I have been away from nursing for a couple years, now I'm on my way to get RN registration to practice in the States. Simplenursing has been a HUGE resource for me. I absolutely love how they make big topics into short, digestible videos. It helps me SO MUCH bc i have short attention span. Content-wise I rate it 12/10. I love the study guides as well, very visual learner friendly and compact. There're areas need improvement though. The OB and pediatrics study materials are quite old & outdated compared to other topics. Please update them. Also, NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep version is not user-friendly. It crashes often, especially during quizzes. The web version is so much better.

I would highly recommend Simple Nursing! I honestly wish that I knew about the program setup during the start of my nursing education. I purchased the membership when I was preparing for my NCLEX and there was a lot of great content that I had just wished I reviewed as I was going through the whole program itself. I’ve come across others interested in nursing and recommend SimpleNursing to them as well. What helped me prepare for NCLEX was setting out a map/calendar to review body systems (Simple Nursing has things organized really well to go through and review) and also read a comprehensive review book! There’s A LOT of information you have to digest in nursing school and these are perfect!! Best of wishes to the future nurses out there!

I raved about simple nursing to all my friends in nursing school. He has helped me understand complicated subjects and broke it down into simple terms. Everything he says always stuck with me during my tests. Would highly recommend for students in nursing school! I love listening to his videos when I was cleaning, driving, and in my free time. I would watch his videos before my lectures and and it always helped me follow along in class. I love that he goes over the important things and emphasizes on stuff that Are need to knows. I can 100% say he helped me pass nursing school. I will continue to rave about him to any students in nursing school! :)

Myself as well as many of my classmates were struggling to navigate nursing school until about halfway through 2nd semester when we all finally decided to get NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep. We used the study guides and videos for almost every lecture just to get to the basics of what we needed to know versus the garbage amount of info the instructors gave us. The change in instructors every semester was hard enough but simplenursing really just kept something consistent every semester. I highly recommend you use this at the very start of nursing school to really have your best shot at getting all the need to know info for your exams and most importantly your nclex.

I am now going into my 3rd semester of nursing school, and I discovered simple nursing halfway through my second semester months ago. Simple nursing is by far the best platform out there for nursing students, Mike does a phenomenal job laying out all of the key points for each of the concepts / exemplars.

Also, I would like to say that simple nursing is at the top due to the quizzing platform made available, you can choose as many or as little questions, categories, exemplars, including dosage calculations, which is not covered by many people or platforms.

Lastly, Mike does an amazing job of providing handouts that summarize the key information for the concepts or exemplars, which will include a definition, common symptoms, associated lab value findings, common treatments, medications, and nursing interventions for each one.

I use the platform as a supplement to my program’s available information on PowerPoints and I have been able to maintain a 4.0 ever since. I plan to continue to use simple nursing throughout the rest of nursing school, and through my NCLEX exam process, you all should TOO!

I do not think I could have made it through my first year of nursing school without simple nursing. Nurse Mike makes everything just make sense. I couldn’t understand my instructors, online during Covid, but With Mike he just made it fun, and everyone in class was using his videos. (The BAM team and the SLM team, he just does things to help you remember like this) I know my class didn’t find simple nursing until the end of our first year, and we regret that. So we all plan to purchase the bundle for our last year because I honestly don’t think I would of passed my cardiac section without it. Believe me you will not go wrong with Simple Nursing. Absolutely love everything about it.

Y’all, if you are struggling in nursing school, you are not alone! The nurses at Simple Nursing are here to save the day. My second term of nursing school, I had pharmacology. I had NO IDEA how to study for it. One of my classmates mentioned Simple Nursing to me. I started to watch their many and extremely helpful videos for not only pharm, but for many of the other classes and concepts in school. Simple Nursing has memory techniques that will actually have you smiling while taking an exam because 1) you remember, and 2) the tip/technique was funny! I bought the subscription that would last until after I graduated to also help me with the NCLEX. They have a wealth of knowledge that is very clearly shown through their videos, their quizzes and their review sheets. I just graduated nursing school and I have these amazing people to thank! I will be utilizing them to brush up on some things as I now study for the NCLEX. I highly recommend, and good luck to all of you! Thank you again, Simple Nursing Team :)

Okay, now I can make a review for NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep. NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep helped me a lot. I used UWorld twice but didn't work, then I looked for new resources and found SimpleNursing (which I’m not confident about but I feel like I have to trust the process) plus Mark Klimek lectures and audios and it worked. There Question Bank is almost the same as the NCLEX RN exam. The UWorld gave me hard questions, harder than NCLEX but it didn't help me it just made me confused during the exam. But, with NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep, everything is straight to the point and they have so many videos to watch every system of the body, different kinds of diseases/illnesses/conditions, easy-to-understand explanations, and visuals. In short, this is the best app that worked for me who gets confused easily, overthinks, and visual learner.

I have ADHD, so finishing all of the assigned reading for school was nearly impossible. Mike and the SimpleNursing team make learning the content easy and stress free.

The best part about SimpleNursing’s videos is that they have colorful visuals and animations that help keep you engaged and make the information easier to remember. They often include sound effects, rhyming phrases, and short mnemonics which really help aid with retention of the material. Mike speaks loudly and clearly, so these videos are also great for listening while doing another non-language based activity such as cleaning or an art project (though I do recommend actually watching each video at least once first).

In addition to their excellent videos, Simple Nursing includes access to loads of useful study sheets and even more practice exam questions to help you fully master the material. With SimpleNursing, I was able to pass the NCLEX on the first try!! Thanks again :)

I’m a medic in the Air Force studying for the NCLEX PN. Due to our job we can challenge the board to Apply for our LPN. Since we don’t have formal teachings of the material we have to look for the material ourselves. I’m so glad to have stumbled upon simple nursing because it breaks down each illness and explains the main concerns with priority interventions, signs and symptoms, causes, and more. It’s literally like having a teacher lecturing classes but way more fun. I also have a book to reference for LPN to not get confused with the interventions of RNs. But this program is great!

Update: I passed my NCLEX-PN on the first try.

Would also like to update that there’s no sound. I’ve deleted NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep and reinstalled. It still doesn’t work. I’m now in school for RN and having NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep would be great to hear videos on the go.

Simple Nursing is making my nursing school experience so much more fun and easy to understand. The way that Mike explains things is beyond fun. They have the best memory tricks. During my exams I even write down these memory tricks on my scratch paper so they actually work. It's definitely worth the money, because these concepts are critical for us to understand. The study guides they provide are seriously underrated and they're amazing for a quick review right before your test. I also love that when mike says, "don't let the NCLEX trick you" or "BIG NCLEX TIP. write this down." It really emphasizes the importance of key concepts. I've tried osmosis and picmonic and this one is the best and my favorite. THANK YOU MIKE AND SIMPLE NURSING!!!!! Nursing school doesn't have to be bland and difficult to understand so do yourself a favor and make it fun and simple :)

I cannot thank Simple Nursing enough for helping me get through Pharmacology and Med Surg II last semester! As a single mom who works full time while attending nursing school, I needed nursing app and website that could made the information easy to comprehend as I studied after my kids went to sleep. I was struggling to understand medications and their mechanisms of action, adverse effects, nursing considerations, and so on. The study guides and videos were life savers and grade savers for me! Simple Nursing made medications and diseases easy to understand and remember. The study guides were clear, concise, and to the point. Mike, RN, was very engaging (and funny) in presenting the material in the videos. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! I can’t wait to keep using Simple Nursing for my final year and then to help prepare for the NCLEX. NursingSchoolNCLEXPrep is a must have for all nursing students!

Simple nursing is amazing! I graduated 10 years ago and had no idea where to start. I'm a visual/auditory learner and found the animations to be very helpful and easy to digest. Nurse Mike kind of cherry-picks all of the important topics that you need to know from every section. I loved that because I didn't need to spend hours overloading on information that I didn't necessarily need. Nurse Mike's little sayings were also easy for me to remember. I used Simple Nursing in conjunction with Uworld and my grades skyrocketed once I started. I used Simple Nursing for about 2 months before taking my NCLEX RN. I passed in less than an hour with 75 questions. I also want to point out that I was by no means a stellar nursing student AT ALL. I really credit Simple Nursing for giving me a great foundation for content and have been recommending it to every nursing student I know.

Simple nursing was the reason why I passed my NCLEX on May 2021. Simple nursing isn’t just a question bank, Michel gives actual lessons. He uses the NCLEX practice test as a source along with other sources. His lessons are extremely useful. Michael is fun, and to the point. Not only was simple nursing helpful, it was also fun. I can not speak for the question bank because since I already had Uworld before finding out about Simple nursing, I just used simple nursing for the lessons and Uworld as my question bank. (Uworld wasn’t enough for me because I needed structured lessons, which is how I found simple nursing). The only thing I would criticize is that the Pediatrics and OBGYN lessons don’t seem to be complete, but i know Simple Nursing is probably working on that. In the meantime I used Uworld for those topics. Simple nursing was worth EVERY PENNY! And more! I do not think I could have passed with out it. I am so very thankful!!

Hii I just passed my NCLEX using Simple Nursing! I used 3 previous NCLEX reviews before finding Simple Nursing and Simple Nursing was the one for me! Simple Nursing focuses on you passing your board exam by making the material you need to know for the NCLEX all in a series of animated videos. It provides helpful memory tricks to remember important high yield content and utilizes amazing visualizes and animations to help you understand the material. Also, there is a quiz hank with over 1,500+ questions to test yourself. You can review the questions using video rationales. Nurse Mike did an amazing job explaining the material while adding his charisma to make learning fun! I highly recommend it!
