The most up-to-date CPNRE® question bank

The question bank built for your CPNRE®

Every question is written to the current CPNRE® test plan and asked the way the real exam asks it. The rationales teach the rule behind the safest answer, not just the answer, and the ones that matter most are drawn for you.

Why not 3,000 questions

You do not need more questions. You need the right ones.

A bank of 3,000 questions feels safe when you buy it. It stops feeling safe three weeks before your exam, when you are still in the first thousand and starting to panic. We built this bank to be finished. Every question earns its place by testing something the CPNRE® asks of you, and every rationale hands you the rule behind the answer, so one question teaches you what ten repeats never will.

Covers your whole test plan, and nothing outside it
One idea per question, never the same trick twice
Finish it around your shifts, and finish it twice

The bank you finish is the one that gets you licensed.

Does this sound like you?

Studying hard is not the same as being ready

The CPNRE® does not test how much you memorized. It tests whether you can pick the safest next action when every option looks reasonable. Here is what usually stands in the way, and how this bank clears it.

“What if the real questions feel nothing like my notes?”

Every question here is written to the current CPNRE® test plan, in the same style as the real exam. Practice in that style every day, and nothing on test day will look new to you.

“I do not even know what to study first.”

The bank covers every part of your test plan, and your progress is tracked by topic, so you always know your weak areas and what to practice next.

“I cannot afford to waste money on another big course.”

There is no thousand-page textbook here and no subscription that keeps charging you. You pay once. You get one focused question bank, and every rationale teaches only what changes your answer.

What's inside

Built to make you safe on shift

The CPNRE® tests whether you can choose the safest next action when several options look reasonable. That is the exact skill this bank trains, question after question.

Exam-style practice questions

  • Prioritization, delegation to unregulated care providers, and safety.
  • Medications, maternal and newborn care, and pediatrics.
  • Mental health and care of the older adult.
  • Medication and IV calculations as four-option questions, the way the CPNRE® asks them.
  • Written to the current CPNRE® test plan.

Unfolding client cases

  • Case-based questions make up 40 to 60% of the real CPNRE®.
  • Four linked questions per case, like caring for a real client on shift.
  • Heart failure, chest pain in an older adult, and diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • Postpartum hemorrhage, alcohol withdrawal, and more.
  • The client's condition changes, and the safest next action changes with it.

Rationales that teach

  • Every rationale gives you the rule that separates the right action from the ones that only look right.
  • Read them on the questions you get right, not just the ones you miss.
  • Simple language with the key words in bold, so the rule stays in your memory.
  • Only what changes your answer, never padding for length.

Pictured rationales

  • The explanations that need a picture get one: intracranial pressure, cardiac tamponade, potassium and more.
  • Drawn for this bank, not clip art borrowed from a textbook.
  • A diagram you can see beats a paragraph you have to imagine.
  • Every one sits inside the explanation, next to the rule it teaches.

Predictor Exam (mock test)

  • A full-length, timed mock test that scores how ready you are.
  • Your chance of passing, read as Low, Borderline, High or Very High.
  • Your score against the average, your pace per question, and the time for the whole paper.
  • A subject breakdown at the end, so you know exactly what to study next.

A smart practice player

  • Tutor mode shows the rationale the moment you answer.
  • Timed mode holds the answers back until you finish, like exam day.
  • Flag questions, review your misses, and track your progress.
  • Study on your laptop, tablet, or phone.
