For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
— 2 Timothy 1:7 (NABRE)

About 
Jade NursingPrep™

Jade NursingPrep™ is an affordable NCLEX-RN® and nursing-school prep platform created by doctorally prepared nurse educators. We help nursing students reason through tough questions like a nurse — not just memorize facts — with clear, guided lessons, NGN-Style practice,
and clear rationales. 

Your Nursing Journey with 
Jade NursingPrep™

Activates prior knowledge

Retrieval practice with clinical reasoning

Spaced repetition

Our mission

Nursing students today are exhausted, time-poor, and overwhelmed by information overload — and too often, the resources built to help them cost more than a student budget can carry. Jade NursingPrep™ exists to change that. Our mission is simple: make genuinely effective NCLEX-RN® preparation affordable, clear, and reassuring, so the quality of a student's preparation is never decided by how much they can spend.

How we teach

Our approach is built on established learning science — retrieval practice, spaced repetition, dual-coding, and interleaving — rather than marathon rereading. Every lesson moves through a clear, guided sequence powered by two frameworks we developed for exactly this purpose:

ACTS-5™ MicroCycle

our instructional-design framework that turns dense content into focused, roughly 30-minute study blocks built around active recall and safe-practice anchoring.

N.U.R.S.E.S. Sequence™

our step-by-step clinical-reasoning method (Notice, Understand, Rank, Safely Act, Evaluate, Share) that teaches you to think through a question the way a practicing nurse does.

What we stand for

- Affordable — quality prep within reach of a real student budget.
- Student-centric — written in plain English for students studying on no sleep and limited time.
- Science-backed — grounded in how memory and clinical reasoning actually work.
- Faith-fueled — a thread of encouragement for students who want it, never a substitute for rigorous content.

Where faith fits

Jade NursingPrep™ embraces a faith-based foundation, offering optional encouragement to students who seek it. We understand that nursing school can often bring feelings of fear and self-doubt. To support our students, we provide uplifting messages alongside essential lab values, creating a more holistic learning experience. This element of our program remains entirely optional and is presented with the utmost respect for all beliefs.

What we offer:

We build Jade NursingPrep™ in focused waves rather than waiting to release everything at once. Our first release is Lab Values for the NCLEX-RN® — clear, reason-don't-memorize lessons on the lab values behind the highest-risk clinical decisions, with NGN-Style practice and rationales. More focused modules are on the way as the library grows.

Why we built Jade NursingPrep™

To become the most trusted, affordable partner for nursing students — by truly understanding their stress, struggles, and self-doubt, and turning that into confidence through science-backed lessons that make nursing school and the NCLEX-RN® feel simpler, smarter, and more manageable.

We know the modern nursing student is exhausted, time-poor, and overwhelmed by information overload. So we strip away the fluff and target the cognitive fatigue that makes hard-won knowledge so hard to recall under pressure.

Affordable,
without compromise

We remove the barrier of high costs, so focused NCLEX-RN® prep is within reach for every student.

Built by
doctorally prepared nurse educators

Every lesson is designed by nurse educators who have been exactly where you are, and who built the resource they wish they'd had. Jade NursingPrep™ is led by founder Mariano Alfred Acevedo, PhD, RN.

Targeted to how the NCLEX-RN® actually tests you

We focus on the reasoning the exam rewards, teaching you to think through questions like a nurse, so what you study holds up when it counts.
