Required nursing textbooks and study resources often are prohibitively expensive. To address this, the creators of Open RN make important resources freely available. The project was created with the help of a 2.5 million dollar grant from the US Dept of Education and the input of nursing instructors in order to make up to date nursing resources freely available. The creators update the resources frequently and the resources you see below are the most up to date versions and have been adapted to cover the most current NCLEX test material.. Some examples of the resources available include: textbooks, journals, clinical scenarios and career advice.
