About Us
SimpleNursing is the go-to resource for nursing students — helping you face your challenges, achieve your academic goals, and start your careers on solid ground
Why We’re Here
Nursing school is hard. Period. We’ve been there and we get it. Part of it’s the material, part of it is the way it’s taught:
listen to a lecture, read a chapter in the textbook, and take an exam. Then onto the next chapter. And the next.
But how can an aspiring nurse be expected to pass nursing school and the NCLEX this way when 65% of college students are visual learners. That’s where we can help!
Our mission is to equip every type of learner with the resources and confidence they need to pass their exams on the first try. We simplify nursing education by focusing on the most challenging topics and providing engaging content that’s actually enjoyable.
We strive to make learning fun and accessible to all.

Our History
In 2012, at Cerritos Nursing School in Southern California, Nurse Mike Linares was called into the Dean’s office.
The Dean told Mike he needed a 90% or higher on his midterm exams or he’d be forced into remediation for the entire semester. But Mike couldn’t do it. No matter the amount of studying he did, he couldn’t retain the information.
So, he talked to some of his classmates and discovered he wasn’t the only one struggling.
There had to be another way. He decided to act like the professor he needed and turn the material into something highly visual and fun.
He filmed it and sent it to the other students in his class. And thus SimpleNursing was born.
