Blueprint Nursing Tackles the Registered Nurse Shortage with Free NCLEX Prep Course

Blueprint Nursing addresses the critical RN shortage in the U.S. by offering free 60-day access to its new NCLEX Complete Self-Prep Package, empowering future nurses to pass their licensing exams with confidence.

LOS ANGELES, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States is facing a critical shortage of Registered Nurses (RNs), with reports showing approximately 1.2 million new RNs are needed by 2030 to fill the growing gap in the healthcare workforce. To help combat this pressing issue, Blueprint Nursing is stepping up with a groundbreaking new offer for nursing students and professionals.

From April 2025 to December 2025, Blueprint Nursing is offering free 60-day access to a new course: The NCLEX Complete Self-Prep Package, including 23 hours of video lessons and a 2,000+ question bank—a comprehensive and efficient exam preparation package valued at $116. This initiative aims to empower nursing students to effectively prepare and pass their licensing exam with confidence, ultimately helping bridge the gap in the RN shortage.

Why the RN Shortage Requires Immediate Attention

Nationwide, the current RN shortage in the United States sits at 10%, equating to 350,540 unfilled positions—a trend projected to persist for the foreseeable future. The current shortage stems from several factors:

• Aging Workforce: Many experienced RNs are approaching retirement, leaving massive gaps in the healthcare system.
• Aging Baby Boomer Population: As the aging population grows, the need for skilled nurses is rising rapidly to meet increasing healthcare demands.
• Limited Educational Resources: Nursing education programs face capacity challenges, further slowing the development of new nurses.

Without innovative solutions, the healthcare system risks being overwhelmed, leaving millions without adequate care.

Blueprint Nursing is on a mission to make exam prep affordable, focused, and stress-free, helping students pass their NCLEX exams on the first try. The NCLEX Complete Self-Prep Package Course is designed specifically to address common pain points students face when preparing for this critical exam, including:

• Affordability: High-quality resources at no cost during the offer window.
• Cognitive Overwhelm: Fluff-free, focused content tailored 100% to the NCLEX, cutting out unnecessary distractions.
• Lack of Direction: A personalized study planner that guides students on what to study from day 1 of prep to exam day, providing structure and alleviating stress.
• Test Anxiety: The course includes proven test anxiety management techniques for greater confidence on even the toughest questions.

Support for Faculty and Institutions
