Meet Your NCLEX Coach
Cheryl Thompson, DNP, RN
Cheryl Thompson is a nurse educator, author, and founder of NCLEXRx with more than 30 years of experience in nursing education. She helps NCLEX candidates move beyond memorization to develop the clinical judgment, confidence, and preparation strategies needed for NCLEX and professional practice.
Her coaching philosophy is simple: one size fits one. Every candidate brings different strengths, learning needs, and life circumstances. Cheryl works with each person to identify barriers, connect knowledge to clinical situations, and build an individualized preparation plan. For those facing a retest, she provides supportive, practical guidance to understand what needs to change and move forward after a setback.
Supporting Graduate Nurses and Health Systems
Cheryl also partners with health systems to support graduate nurses following NCLEX failure. Her approach addresses knowledge gaps, clinical judgment, self-confidence, and conditions for learning—helping nurse leaders offer individualized support during a challenging transition toward licensure.
Resources to Support Preparation
Cheryl is the author of Overcoming NCLEX Failure: A Guide to Retest Success and the creator of the NCLEXRx THINK · LEARN · SUCCEED app. These resources complement her coaching by helping candidates prepare with purpose and take an active role in their learning.
Whether you’re preparing for NCLEX yourself or supporting graduate nurses in your organization, Cheryl welcomes the opportunity to discuss your needs.
