Step 2 — where it applies
CNA and Medication Aide are run by your state
NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN are single national examinations — the same exam wherever you test, so there is no state to choose. Nurse aide and medication aide certification are different: each state runs its own program, its own testing vendor and its own requirements. Pick your state to start there.

What choosing a state does:it sets your account up for that state’s certification so we can point you at the right requirements. Our CNA and Medication Aide questions are national banks today — the questions are the same in every state, and they do not replace your own state’s curriculum or skills checklist.

What studying with CARE actually looks like
Not a flashcard app with a quiz bolted on. These are the tools you get, and they are all built.
A patient has been taking furosemide 40 mg daily for two weeks. Which assessment finding would most concern the nurse as a possible sign of furosemide-induced hypokalemia?
Correct
Hypokalemia presents with neuromuscular findings — weakness, cramping and diminished reflexes. The other findings are within normal limits and are not specific to potassium loss.
Illustrative example — not a live quiz. Try a real one with the Free Quiz.
Questions built on the real exam blueprint
Written from the NCSBN test plans and, for CNA and Medication Aide, from federal regulation and state scope rules — with the source recorded for the fact behind each question.
1,000+ questions built around a chart or diagram
Drawing on 700+ distinct clinical exhibits — MAR excerpts, rhythm strips, lab trend tables, flowsheets and assessment worksheets — where reading the exhibit correctly is the actual skill being tested.
89 NGN unfolding case studies, 534 decision points
One patient followed through a full clinical-judgment sequence, modelled on NCSBN's Clinical Judgment Measurement Model. Authored at RN clinical-judgment level, so these are included with NCLEX-RN.
Timed full-length mock exams
Built to the exam's own blueprint weighting rather than an even split across topics, so the practice mirrors the real distribution.
A written rationale for every answer
Every option is explained — why the right answer is right, and why each wrong one is wrong. A missed question turns into something you learn.
Weak-topic identification and retry
Your weakest topics ranked so a topic you have barely attempted cannot jump the queue, plus one-tap retry of everything you have missed.
See it for yourself first
Eight real questions from the same bank, graded the same way, with the rationale after each one — including a visual exhibit question. No account, no card.
Plans from $19
Four plans per exam. Higher plans unlock more of the question bank, add mock exams and weak-topic tracking, and last longer. One-time access — nothing renews automatically.
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask before they buy.
Is CARE Nursing free to try?
Yes. The Free Quiz gives you eight real questions from the same bank our paying students use, graded the same way, with the full rationale after each answer — including at least one question built around a real clinical chart or diagram. No account and no card are needed.
How is access priced?
Four plans per credential — Starter, Basic, Premium and Complete. The two things that always increase as you move up are how much of the question bank you can reach and how long your access lasts. Mock exams and weak-topic tracking are included in every plan, including Starter; we do not hold back study tools to push you upward. NGN case studies are included with Premium and Complete, and Complete also gets new questions added during your access period.
Can I buy preparation for more than one credential?
Yes. Each credential is bought separately because each has its own question bank, and your account holds them side by side. Your dashboard tracks each one's access and progress independently.
How is the content written and checked?
Every question is written from a recorded, authoritative source, and carries a traceable link back to the specific fact it tests — that holds for all 9,710 questions we ship, not most of them. Those sources are the NCSBN test plans for what the exams cover, federal regulation and government health agencies, professional-body clinical guidelines, and current nursing reference texts. Each question is then put through an independent review pass whose job is to try to disprove it: wrong keys, ambiguous stems, answers given away by the wording or by an exhibit, and options that are defensible but marked wrong. That review is automated and adversarial, and it catches real defects. It is not the same thing as sign-off by a licensed clinician, and we do not describe it as though it were.
