SimpleNursing sells online study memberships for nursing students, pairing animated lecture videos with practice questions and study guides for nursing school courses and NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exam prep.
Plan length moves the price more than any code: Nursing School monthly access starts at $20/month, while yearly memberships drop to as low as $15/month.
SimpleNursing grew out of a YouTube channel that Mike Linares, known to students as Nurse Mike, started in 2012 after struggling to retain material as a nursing student at Cerritos, in Southern California. He turned hard topics into visual, playful lessons for classmates, set the business up as an LLC in 2017, released its first animated video series in 2019, and in 2023 the company became part of the Colibri Group, a professional education company.
Beyond the core courses it offers TEAS and HESI prep, flashcards, study guide books, the MemoryMusic podcast, a New Grad Program and material for nursing instructors. A tool called Rubi Match links a student's own lecture slides or syllabus to the matching videos. Content comes from a team that includes RNs, nursing professors and people who write or have written NCLEX questions.

More about shopping at SimpleNursing
NCLEX and long plans
NCLEX monthly starts at $60/month, and the Full Journey Pass covers study until the NCLEX is passed at about $13/month on average.
Free trial
A 5-day limited-access trial of the lectures and questions needs no credit card.
Refund window
Non-monthly memberships can be refunded within 48 hours of purchase minus a 10% processing fee, at least $10 and at most $25; monthly plans are non-refundable.
Account limits
One membership works on up to 4 devices, may not be shared with classmates, and cannot be paused after activation.
The SimpleNursing pages reviewed do not say where checkout takes a promo code, nor whether a code can be combined with a promotion, so read the order total before paying.
Starting with the free 5-day trial costs nothing and needs no card, which makes it the sensible first step before committing to a plan.
A non-monthly membership bought during a promotion does not have to start straight away: it activates at first login or later from Settings, then runs without pause, so timing the start close to NCLEX prep keeps paid months from going unused.
