Building the skills students need to succeed in nursing school

Many students struggle early in nursing school — not because they lack ability, but because they aren’t equipped with the practical skills needed to manage stress, organize their time, understand complex readings, study effectively, and navigate new expectations. These early challenges can quickly translate into remediation needs and, too often, attrition.

Lippincott Ready for Nursing Success strengthens the nonacademic competencies that make the biggest difference. This flexible, video-based course helps students build the habits, mindset, and strategies they need for long-term success. Designed for early program use, it integrates easily into curricula and gives faculty visibility into early skill-building before challenges escalate.

Improve retention

Address the core behaviors and habits that influence student persistence.

Boost student confidence

  • Built around the skills that matter most early

    Incoming students face new expectations quickly — from the pace of coursework to the volume of reading and assessments. Lippincott Ready for Nursing Success was designed specifically for early program use, helping students adapt to these demands before high stakes coursework and exams intensify.

  • Assignable and trackable from day one

    Lippincott Ready for Nursing Success works like other core course resources — faculty can assign modules, monitor completion, and confirm engagement through built in assessments. This ensures accountability early and provides insight into who may need support before the semester accelerates.

  • Flexible enough to fit any curriculum model

    Programs use Lippincott Ready for Nursing Success as a preterm “Semester 0” experience or embed it into early Foundations courses. Its modular design allows faculty to meet students where they are without restructuring existing curricula.

  • Designed to reduce remediation, not add work

    By addressing readiness gaps up front, Lippincott Ready for Nursing Success helps prevent the time intensive remediation that burdens faculty later. Early skill development translates into fewer crises, more prepared students, and more efficient use of instructional time.
