How it works
Learn
Interactive lessons and clinical scenarios, sequenced in official NCSBN test-plan order.
Practice
NCLEX-style questions, SATA items, and interactive tools like the virtual patient simulator and case studies.
Master
Track your strengths and gaps by category, and follow a study planner sized to your subscription.
Learn how nurses think, not just what to click
Interactive tools that build clinical judgment, the way real bedside decisions actually feel. Included with every full subscription — not part of the free trial.
Virtual patient simulator
20 full patient scenarios — your decisions change vitals in real time.
Unfolding case simulator
20 full NGN-style cases, from assessment to outcome.
Dosage calculator
Oral, weight-based, and IV flow-rate calculators, plus a 24-problem practice quiz.
ECG rhythm trainer
20 simplified rhythm strips for quick daily review.
Lab value builder
28 flip-card drills across the highest-yield lab values.
Prioritization builder
20 drag-and-drop scenarios for correct priority order.
SATA practice
20 select-all-that-apply items, the core Next Gen NCLEX format.
Nursing & NCLEX glossary
A searchable reference of 80+ terms, abbreviations, and frameworks.
One exam, two pathways
Australia's Outcomes-Based Assessment (Stream B) for internationally qualified nurses uses the NCLEX-RN as its written component, then adds a separate OSCE clinical exam. Choose your track and study the parts that are actually different.
NCLEX-RN for US Licensure
9 modules across all 8 NCSBN Client Needs categories, sequenced exactly as the test plan weights them, plus a Next Gen NCLEX clinical-judgment foundation module.
View curriculum →NCLEX-RN + OSCE for AHPRA OBA
The identical NCLEX-RN curriculum, plus a dedicated OSCE module sequenced by the nursing process (assessment → planning → intervention → evaluation) and AHPRA cultural safety standards.
View curriculum →A practice exam built to feel like the real thing
300+ questions across all 9 NCSBN categories feed a full-length practice exam that runs 85–150 questions, just like the real NCLEX-RN's variable length — no per-question feedback until you finish, so it tests your pacing and endurance, not just your recall.
Afterward, you get a full performance report: overall score, a category-by-category breakdown, your specific strengths and focus areas, and every question reviewed with the correct answer and rationale.
See the practice exam →Good to know
This is a study tool, not a prediction. The real NCLEX-RN uses a proprietary, NCSBN-only adaptive algorithm to pick questions and decide when to stop — no prep company, including this one, has access to it. Our exam simulates the real exam's length and structure so you can practice pacing and stamina; it doesn't forecast your actual result.
Plus a full Core Topics review, organized by body system
Prefer studying by body system instead of by NCSBN category? Core Topics covers the same exam-relevant content through a traditional med-surg lens — a second way to review, not a duplicate of the curriculum above.

Included on the Annual plan
Everything you need in one subscription
300+ questions, every one with a rationale

Clinical-order curriculum
Lessons follow the exact NCSBN test-plan sequence — no jumping between topics with no clinical logic.
Progress analytics

Next Gen item types
Select-all-that-apply and unfolding case-study items that mirror the current NGN format.
OSCE preparation
AU-track candidates get a dedicated module for the clinical exam component, not just the written test.
Weak-area study planner
Your dashboard automatically flags the 1-3 NCSBN categories you're weakest in, based on your own practice history, with a study tip and a direct link to practice.

Nurses studying with NightingalePrep
“The category-by-category structure made it obvious where I was weak. I stopped guessing and started studying Pharmacology and Reduction of Risk on purpose instead of randomly.”
“Having the OSCE module right after the NCLEX content, in the same platform, meant I wasn't juggling three different resources.”
“The trend-style questions were the closest thing I found to real Next Gen NCLEX case studies. Explained why each answer was right, not just which one was right.”
“Being able to switch between the US and AU track without losing my progress made deciding where to register a lot less stressful.”
“The flashcard downloads became my actual commute-time study routine — much easier to stick with than trying to log into a website on the train.”
“A lot of the terminology and abbreviations are used a little differently here than what I trained with — the glossary tool became my go-to for double-checking before I moved on to practice questions.”
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Australia's AHPRA/NMBA registration for internationally qualified nurses on the Outcomes-Based Assessment (OBA) 'Stream B' pathway uses the same NCLEX-RN exam as its multiple-choice component, followed by a separate OSCE clinical exam. NightingalePrep's core NCLEX-RN curriculum is identical for both tracks; the AU track adds a dedicated OSCE preparation module and AHPRA-specific guidance.
