Here’s what your peers had to say about the course:
Natalie M.
I'm so grateful and thankful to share that I PASSED AANP! Sarah Michelle's review and questions gave me the confidence I needed! She's an
amazing teacher!
Tashara L.
I have to thank God first and next Sarah Michelle! Your review was perfect! I can't thank you enough for what you're doing for the FNP
community! Your passion for teaching and thoughtfulness of others shows through in your courses!
Abbi S.
Sarah, your review is the BEST! I feel like I can say that because I spent hundreds of dollars on reviews prior to finding yours. Your
interactive approach to teaching kept me engaged. You are amazing and a true gift to those preparing for boards!!
Want a preview of our teaching vibe?
Join us for an upcoming free live class, to review tough NP topics like antibiotics, hepatitis, diabetes, eye conditions, and more!
During the live sessions, you will be interacting with expert NPs, who have been in your shoes! They will walk you through case scenarios and
rapid fire quizzing sessions to test your knowledge base along with your peers! All of this content was created exclusively by the SMNP
Reviews team and is individual to the live study groups!
When do I enroll in my Live Session dates? I see them on this page, but I can not select them.
You will select the pair of Live Session dates after purchase when you setup your Study Plan. We do this to maximize the flexibility you have
to customize your prep classes to your unique schedule.
During your period of access, you will be able to attend your selected live session dates and attend additional live sessions if you want to
review the content again. You'll also have access to recordings of past sessions.
What is the difference between Live Study Groups and Self-Paced Courses?
Our Live Study Groups include access to all the SMNP Self-Paced courses: Comprehensive 3-Course Bundle (Crash Course, Pharmacology In-Depth
Review, and Diagnosis In-Depth Review) as well as our Primary Care Question Bank. But the Live Study Group is more than a course - it's a
transformational journey.
You will cultivate unshakable confidence and anxiety-busting techniques essential for passing your NP board exam the first time. Success isn't
just about what you know; it's also about how you feel about what you know. With consistent accountability check-ins, around-the-clock support
from our board-certified NP team, a printed study guide shipped to your door, and a structured study planner (that leaves room in your
calendar to have a social life), you'll never have to wonder what or when to study.
Is SMNP's Live Study Group right for me?
Are you an aspiring nurse practitioner seeking a review program to conquer anxiety, elevate your board prep knowledge, and transform yourself
into a real deal nurse practitioner, all while saying goodbye to procrastination and late-night cramming?
The Live Study Group is more than a course - it's a transformational journey. Do you ever feel overwhelmed at the thought of taking your NP
board exam? Does the fear of not knowing enough or being prepared enough to pass keep you up at night? Let's put an end to that worry!
The Live Study Group is designed to help you quickly and permanently grasp essential information, empowering you to achieve your goal of
becoming a real deal NP! It's your golden ticket to tackling any question that comes your way and feeling self-assured in your career!
What happens if I miss a live session?
You will be able to register for a new date within the Live tab of the learning platform. There are multiple dates available throughout the month. You can also watch recordings of past sessions. However, missing a live session will exclude you from you participating in the passing guarantee. This is to encourage you to get the very most you can from this group! We believe that active participation is a critical component of this program.
Why do I have to enroll by a certain date?
There is pre-work (on-demand lessons) required for your first Live Review Session, which will take 2-3 weeks to complete. Those lessons are
meant to bring you up to speed on the content covered in the review session so you can participate and interact without feeling left behind.
The "Enroll by" dates are calculated based on the "Live Review Session 1" date.
