Free NCLEX group

Pass the NCLEX on your next attempt

The NCLEX tests clinical judgment, not memory. The Dr. R Method teaches you to think like the exam.

Join NCLEX Domination, a free group for nursing grads getting ready to take or retake the NCLEX. Every week you get a live clinical-judgment training, NGN case-study breakdowns and test-anxiety tools from a DNP nurse coach.

Meet Dr. R

I'm Dr. Michael J. Rietscha, DNP, RN. I have worked in emergency and nursing care for more than 20 years, as an EMT since 2004 and as a nurse since 2011, and I have coached more than 500 nursing students over the years.

I built the Dr. R Method™ for students who know the content but freeze on test day. It blends clinical judgment, test-taking strategy and stress management into one plan, and it grew out of years of tutoring repeat test-takers one on one.

In the group I keep things practical and judgment-free. You can ask anything, make mistakes out loud and learn why an answer works, so you walk into the testing center feeling ready.

"I was in a position where I was having trouble applying testing strategies and comprehending the material. Michael went above and beyond to help me understand difficult nursing concepts. Not only was he patient and knowledgeable, but he also gave me the personal attention I needed to succeed. He was also one of the few people who believed in me when I did not believe in myself."

Sam M., passed the NCLEX

"He taught in an unconventional way, which is exactly what I needed in order to pass my NCLEX. He first tries to get to know you to make you feel comfortable. He teaches you the best test taking strategies, stress management techniques, and the necessary nursing content. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Rietscha for your NCLEX/nursing tutoring!"

Sherin M., NCLEX student

"I failed two times. I was studying 10 to 12 hours a day and I was very stressed. Michael showed us the way that we have to think like them. If you weren't there, I don't know where I was now. Just don't give up. Stay strong. It's doable."

Parinaz M., passed the NCLEX on her 3rd attempt
