QUESTION BANK

Questions that sound like the real exam, not like a textbook

The NCLEX tests judgment under uncertainty, and its question stems are vague on purpose. Ours are too. Students keep telling us the real exam felt like a continuation of the bank, and that is the entire goal.

2,600+ Next Gen items: case studies, bow-tie, matrix, SATA, drag-and-drop
Deliberately vague stems, because the real exam is vague and that's what throws people
Rationales that explain the wrong answers, not just the right one

“The vagueness is the point. My real exam felt like question 2,601 of SteadyNurse.”
Marisol V.Passed NCLEX-RN®

EXAM SIMULATOR

Test day should be the second time you see this screen

A good share of exam-day panic is the software and the room, not the questions. The simulator runs the same plain interface, the same one-way Next button, and the same clock counting down from five hours, so on test day the only unfamiliar thing is the questions themselves.

The testing interface, rebuilt: same chrome, same on-screen calculator, same confirm-to-advance
No going back, and no feedback until you finish, because the real exam gives you neither
Full five-hour runs, so you learn what hour four feels like before it counts

“I sat down at the testing centre and the screen was boring. I'd already seen it forty times.”
Renée L.Passed NCLEX-RN®

CHEAT SHEETS

140+ one-pagers that make the hard stuff sit still

When a rationale mentions something you half remember, you shouldn't have to dig through a 900-page review book to find it. Every concept gets one page, and every question links straight to it.

Built to print: one topic, one page, no scrolling
Linked from every question, so you review the concept the moment it trips you up
Organized by body system, so you can find things the way you learned them

“I printed the pharm sheets and taped them inside my locker. Read one on every break.”
Dayo A.Passed NCLEX-RN®

READINESS EXAMS

Three green lights. Then you book the exam.

The worst part of prep is not knowing when to stop. Your readiness score is measured against how past students who passed actually performed, so ready is a number you can watch approaching, not a feeling you have to trust.

Four full-length readiness exams scored against how past students actually performed
A pass prediction, not a vibe. You'll know where you stand
Weak areas surfaced automatically and turned into your next study block

“Two ambers for weeks. The night the third light went green, I booked my exam.”
Priya N.Passed NCLEX-RN®

STUDY PLAN

A plan that bends when your shifts do

Most study plans assume you have nothing else going on. You have clinicals, a job, maybe kids. Tell SteadyNurse your exam date and the hours you can honestly give it, and the plan fits the life you actually have.

Built in 60 seconds from your exam date and how many hours you actually have
Miss a day? Tap once and the rest of the plan reflows. No guilt, no rebuilding
Rest days are scheduled, not stolen

“I work three twelves. When I missed a Tuesday, the plan just moved things. No shame spiral.”
Kelsey R.Passed NCLEX-RN®

COMMUNITY & SUPPORT

Nobody should be studying alone at 3am

It's the middle of the night and one pharm question has convinced you that you're going to fail. Post it. Someone is awake, someone has felt this, and a nurse educator will answer before your tea goes cold.

A 24/7 student community where someone is always awake and stuck on the same thing
Nurse educators on staff answering content questions, not a chatbot deflecting you
Reply in minutes, not business days: median first response is under 10 minutes

“Posted a question at 2am. Had an answer from an actual RN by 2:09.”
Tomás E.Passed NCLEX-RN®

The small things that add up

Ask Capy

Stuck mid-rationale? Ask in plain language and get an answer tied back to the cheat sheet.

Green Lights

Three targets. When all three go green, you're ready. No more guessing.

Two-minute reset

A guided breath before hard blocks. Because panic costs you more points than gaps do.

Illustrated explanations

Every hard concept gets a diagram, not a wall of text.

Weak-spot tags

Tag anything that felt shaky and get a review set built from your tags.

iOS and Android

Ten free minutes on a break is still ten minutes.

PASS INSURANCE

12 months of access, for the price of 4.

Dates slip and retakes mean waiting. The yearly membership is priced to outlast both.

See the yearly membership

Pay for 4 months, study for 12. $116 for the year. The other 8 months cost nothing.
Your exam date can move. Reschedule as often as you need. Your plan and your progress stay put.
Sitting again? You're already in. The wait between attempts is at least 45 days. No fee, nothing to claim.

Pass Insurance is the length of the membership, not a refund and not a promise that you'll pass. $116 today, then $116 a year until you cancel. Cancel any time.

Confident people, passed exams

Shut off at 85 questions and I walked out sure I'd failed, because that's just who I am. Passed. The readiness exams called it two weeks earlier.

Amara J.Passed NCLEX-RN®

I failed my first attempt with a different bank. The difference here is the wrong-answer rationales. I finally understood my own pattern of getting tricked.

Ben C.Passed NCLEX-RN®

The two-minute reset sounds silly until you use it at question 60.

Farah K.Passed NCLEX-RN®

New grad, night shift, zero energy. The plan reflowed around my schedule instead of guilting me about it. I studied 45 minutes a day and hit all three lights in nine weeks.

Diego M.Passed NCLEX-RN®

The case studies are harder than the real ones were. That's a compliment.

Lena P.Passed NCLEX-RN®

Asked a question in the community at 4am before a 6am clinical. An educator answered in eight minutes and didn't make me feel stupid for asking.

Sam O.Passed NCLEX-RN®

I printed maybe forty cheat sheets. My whole study group ended up using them.

Grace T.Passed NCLEX-RN®

English is my second language and vague stems used to sink me. Practicing on deliberately vague questions fixed the exact thing I was scared of.

Kristine B.Passed NCLEX-RN®

Test anxiety has wrecked every standardized exam I've ever taken. This is the first prep that treated it as part of the exam instead of my personal failing.

Mariel R.Passed NCLEX-RN®

I failed my first NCLEX.So I built the prep I wish I had.

You feel behind before you even start because everyone online seems to be on question 4,000 already.
You cannot tell what is actually worth studying, so you try to study everything and end up retaining less.
And when you miss a practice question, the explanation tells you why the right answer is right, but not why the answer you chose looked so convincing.

That was me on my first attempt.

I had answered more than 3,100 practice questions. I knew the content. But I never felt sure I was actually ready.

So when test day came, I second-guessed myself, even on questions I probably knew how to answer.

SteadyNurse is the prep I wish I had back then.

Fewer, more intentional questions. Clear rationales that explain why the wrong answers are tempting. A readiness score that helps you know when you are actually ready. And a study plan built for real life, including long shifts and unpredictable schedules.

Because passing the NCLEX is not about doing the most questions.

It is about knowing what matters and walking into the exam ready to trust yourself.

Questions, answered plainly

What is SteadyNurse?

SteadyNurse is an NCLEX-RN® review course built around 2,600+ practice questions, 140+ printable cheat sheets, four readiness exams, and a study plan that adapts to your schedule. It runs in your browser and on iOS and Android. Our mascot is a capybara, the calmest animal we could find.

How is this different from the question bank I'm already using?

Most banks explain the right answer and move on. SteadyNurse explains why each wrong answer is wrong, links every question to a one-page review sheet, and tracks three pass targets so you know when you're ready instead of guessing. If you score fine in practice but still feel unsure, that last part is the difference.

Is it updated for the 2026 test plan?

Yes. Every question maps to the 2026 NCLEX-RN® test plan, including case studies, bow-tie, matrix, and the other Next Gen item types. When NCSBN announces a change, we update the bank before the change takes effect.

What happens if I don't pass the first time?

You wait at least 45 days before you can sit again, and some state boards ask for longer. That wait is the whole reason the yearly membership exists: 12 months for what 4 months of month-to-month costs, so a second attempt doesn't mean buying prep a second time. There's no refund and no guarantee that you'll pass — we'd rather say that plainly than bury it in conditions.

Can I use it for the NCLEX-PN®?

SteadyNurse is written for the NCLEX-RN®. The two exams overlap, but the PN test plan differs enough that we would rather tell you no than sell you a partial fit. A PN version is on the roadmap.

Can I try it before I pay?

You can look around the site as much as you like, but the question bank, the cheat sheets and the study plan are for members. There is no trial countdown and no auto-upgrading tier. You pay monthly or yearly, and you can cancel whenever you want.

How fast does support respond?

Median first response is under 10 minutes, day or night. Content questions go to nurse educators on staff. Account questions go to a person too.

Can I pause my membership?

Yes. If your exam date moves, pause from your account settings and your remaining days wait for you. There is no fee and you don't have to email anyone.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. You can split any membership into monthly payments at checkout. The total price stays the same either way.

I'm an educator. Do you do institutional access?

We do. Cohort pricing, progress dashboards for faculty, and onboarding for your students. Write to us at [email protected] and we'll set up a walkthrough.

The exam is hard enough.
