SimpleNursing is an online nursing education platform designed to simplify complex nursing concepts for students preparing for nursing school exams, TEAS, HESI, NCLEX-RN, and NCLEX-PN. Founded by Mike Linares, RN, the platform officially became an LLC in 2017, building upon a YouTube channel started in 2012. The core strength of SimpleNursing lies in its visual-first methodology, utilizing over 1,200 animated video lessons, mnemonics, and memory aids to boost retention and reduce study time.
Key resources include a vast question bank with over 4,000 NCLEX-style practice questions (including Next Generation NCLEX, or NGN) with detailed rationales, over 900 downloadable study guides, and an adaptive quiz builder that allows students to focus on weak areas. SimpleNursing also offers features like performance analytics, adaptive study plans, readiness assessments with pass prediction, and live cram sessions. The platform is trusted by over 1 million nursing students and reports a 99% pass rate on NCLEX exams for its users. Target users are nursing students, new graduates, and nurse educators, with dedicated resources for institutional partners. It is accessible via web and dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android.
