Part of the SI Nursing family of independent guides Unofficial — read the disclaimer

One home for the whole nursing journey.

SI Nursing School is the one-stop-shop for nursing school and the NCLEX: a practice bank of 1,187 original questions (1,037 NCLEX + 150 first-year foundations), a practice builder, study modes with spaced repetition, plain-language guides to the test plan and registration, a CCNE accreditation hub — and Nick, an AI tutor who coaches you Socratically instead of handing you answers. No login wall to start. No jargon. Everything grounded in public, national data and original work.

This site is unofficial: it is not affiliated with, sponsored, or endorsed by the NCSBN, Pearson VUE, AACN, CCNE, or any nursing program. The authoritative sources are always the official sites — ncsbn.org/nclex is the exam's home page. Read the full disclaimer.

For students

NCLEX prep that coaches, not just quizzes.

Four hundred twenty-four original NCLEX-style questions across all 8 Client Needs categories — including Next Generation item types — a practice builder that fits your life, study modes with spaced repetition, and progress tracking that shows where you're actually weak. And Nick, the AI tutor: ask him anything, and he'll walk you to the answer instead of giving it away.

$7.99/mo after a free 7-day trial. A free account includes 40 practice questions; every signup also gets a free 7-day trial with full access. See plans.

For faculty

Teach with the bank. Grade with the data.

Build assignments and exams from the original 1,187-item bank (1,037 NCLEX + 150 foundations), write better items with the item-writing academy, and read real analytics — difficulty, discrimination, distractor performance, most-missed rankings — with CSV export. The CCNE accreditation toolkit and clinical & rotation admin come with the same plan. Flags are review signals for your judgment; the system never deletes items, changes keys, or adjusts scores on its own.

$10/mo after a free 7-day trial — full toolkit from day one of the trial. See plans · Visit the faculty page.

For schools

Bring SI Nursing to your whole program.

Institutional adoption: student-insights dashboards for cohort performance, assessment data export that drops into your existing workflows, and CCNE accreditation reporting support with the documentation toolkit built in. Every student gets the full platform — bank, study modes, and Nick tutoring — and progress tracking that respects privacy: weakness is ranked from each student's own answers, never anyone else's.

Institutional pricing is custom — talk to us. We never publish a number we haven't agreed with you.

Competitor prices are from third-party roundups and change often — check their sites for today's numbers. Ours are listed on our pricing page and in the app, and we don't move them quietly.

For programs

CCNE accreditation toolkits, built in.

The CCNE Standards I–IV in plain language, a documentation toolkit for self-studies and evidence, an interactive readiness checklist, and Nick — a Q&A assistant that answers from the standards themselves. Enter the accreditation hub →

Honest by design: these materials support your documentation — Nick never declares a program compliant. That judgment belongs to your program and your reviewers.

How it works

A translator, not a pundit

Nursing licensure runs on documents: the NCSBN test plans, the NCLEX candidate bulletins, AACN essentials. They are authoritative and, frankly, hard to read — scattered across PDFs, dense tables, and jargon. SI Nursing puts the working parts of those documents into plain language in one place, grounded in what the official sources actually say. Long-form pages carry inline citations to those sources, and where we synthesize, we say so explicitly: “Our read:” marks our interpretation. Nothing here replaces your instructors, your program's advisors, your state board, or the official exam sites.

Public data only

Every exam fact cited carries a source. No school-internal data, no leaked questions, no confidential anything — only what's published and citable.

Guidance, not advising

These sites give you the information to think clearly about nursing school and the NCLEX. They are not a substitute for your faculty, advisors, or the official guidance.

Officials cited, links kept

Official publications are summarized and paraphrased, never reproduced at length. The original document is always one click away, with links checked regularly.
