So I've been looking around for resources to help me get ready for my last semester of my ADN program and found nrsng academy. I like the ideological stuff they're saying, but I'd never heard of them before and don't know how legitimate they are.

For instance, they have a whole podcast about important medications to know and the names of many medications are spelled wrong which seems unprofessional for a service that should be helping me with school.

Jon Haws, the NRSNG Academy creator and owner, knows his stuff. No question. But you have to consciously shut out his constantly saying "Okay?" at the beginning, middle and/or end of every other sentence. Drove me nuts at first. And YES, the transcripted portions of the lessons are worthless -- it's a straight, uncorrected version of each lecture, and misspellings/grammatical errors abound. But if you listen to and watch his lectures, ignore his speaking mannerisms and focus on what he's actually communicating, you learn tons. Don't read the lectures-- listen to/watch them. And his written materials are great. I'm using his lectures in conjunction with classwork/readings, so I cannot speak to their use as NCLEX preparation. But he does need to clean up the written transcriptions of his lectures, as they are very unprofessional in their current form.

Thank you for your answer! The misspellings were making me uneasy about actually paying for any of the courses so hearing someone vouch for the information is good. Though now that I'm thinking about it I guess it's always good to fact-check any resource?

I'm taking advanced med-surg to start off the spring semester and I was told I should find resources for Cardiac topics especially and there are a few on their website. I'm thinking I will try it out!

Thanks for the review. I'm glad the content has been helpful. Great suggestion on formatting transcripts! I'll get that updated.

also, I'll work on saying "okay" less. We're actually redoing the older videos now!

So glad to have you as part of the NRSNG Family!
