Who's behind PulseRN

Sheldon Bennett, RN

Creator and clinical reviewer of record · Licensed Registered Nurse

PulseRN was built by a working nurse who took — and passed — the same exam you're preparing for. Every feature in the app exists because it reflects how nurses actually learn: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, clinical judgment, and honest feedback about where you stand.

How content is checked

Every question, case study, flashcard, and readiness-exam item is verified for clinical accuracy against current practice standards before it goes live, and the bank is re-checked on a rolling basis. Keyed answers, distractors, rationales, and dosage math are all part of that check.

The clinical reviewer of record has final authority over everything a student sees and can correct or pull any item at any time. Student reports go straight to that queue, and review actions are date-stamped.

Questions are produced with AI assistance, and carry a reminder to verify anything surprising against your course materials.

Our mission

I built PulseRN because I'm a working registered nurse, and I remember what it felt like to study for the NCLEX with tools that were overwhelming — or vague about whether I was actually ready.

PulseRN is for the nursing student who has limited time and can't afford to waste it: the one studying between shifts, clinicals, and everything else life is asking of them.

Every question, case study, and flashcard in this app is held to the standard I set as a licensed RN, and nothing stays live that doesn't meet it. The app is built on how memory actually works — retrieval practice, spaced repetition, and short daily sessions instead of cramming. And it will always tell you the truth about where you stand, even when the honest answer is "not ready yet," because a number that flatters you the week before your exam isn't a kindness.

My standard is simple: nothing goes live that I wouldn't hand to a new nurse on my own unit.

Verify a license

Registered Nurse licenses are public record. You can verify any RN license — including the one behind this app — through the nursing board of the state where the license is held, or via Nursys, the national licensure verification system operated by NCSBN.
