If you’re prepping for your NP boards while working, juggling clinicals, running a household, staying caffeinated, and trying to remember the last time you slept eight hours…hi, welcome. You’re our people!
We’ve been working on something BIG that’s going to make your NP board prep even easier to fit into real life. Introducing the Flex Upgrade, a huge update to the SMNP Reviews Live Study Group (LSG) that keeps everything students love…but now fits even better into your actual, jam-packed schedule.
Don’t worry—it still has the same instructors, same structure, and same passing guarantee. Just way more flexible!
Let’s break down what’s new (and what’s the same!).
What is the Flex Upgrade?
The Live Study Group now comes with more freedom and less stress, without changing the guided structure that makes it so successful:
🚀 Start whenever
We removed fixed start dates. That means no more waiting around for a start date or watching the calendar like it’s the Starbucks holiday menu. The moment you enroll, boom! Your course access starts. 💥
📅 More live session options
Weekdays? Weekends? Morning? Afternoon? You choose what works with your shifts, kids, preceptors, and, well, life.
We added more live session dates (A LOT of them) so you can finally build your study schedule around your world, not the other way around.
🔄 Rescheduling made easy
Life happens. (Client calls, kids get sick, a surprise extra shift falls from the sky.) Now if something comes up, you can easily switch your live session dates and keep your momentum going.
What Does This Mean For You?
The Flex Upgrade means you can:
⭐ Start the live course as soon as you need it
⭐ Stay consistent and on track (even when life gets unpredictable)
⭐ Keep your study routine intact
⭐ Feel supported from enrollment all the way to test day
The Flex Upgrade is here to make your NP board prep feel doable, even when your schedule isn’t.
