Why nurses choose Ninara
Bilingual classes for Russian-speaking nurses
Classes run in English and Russian: explanations in Russian, questions in English. Exam questions stay in English, as on the NCLEX, so the exam wording is learned together with the content.
Skills on real equipment
IV insertion, intubation, Foley catheter insertion and more, practiced in class. The exam does not test it. The job does.
Help with credentialing
Diploma evaluation and the New York State application that authorizes you to test are part of the program. The decision belongs to NYSED.
Help finding a job
After the exam the program helps with the job search: the English and the skills from class are meant for the first job, not only for the test.

NCLEX-RN prep for nurses from Brooklyn →Frequently asked questions
Who is this NCLEX-RN prep program for?
For nurses with an international nursing license or diploma, and for nursing graduates in the New York area, who want to get their nursing license in the United States. Geography is where classes take place, not who is eligible. Only nursing education qualifies for the exam.
Can I prepare with a foreign nursing diploma?
Yes: the program starts with diploma recognition and the New York State application, then exam preparation. Eligibility to sit the exam and to be licensed is decided by NYSED based on your education and documents. Enrolling does not establish it.
How much English do I need to know?
English is taught as part of the class, for real clinical work rather than as theory. Many students started with almost no English and learned it through the program. The exam itself is taken in English, so the language work runs alongside the questions from the first session.
Where does the class take place?
Classes take place at 1172 Coney Island Ave, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11230. The location serves nurses from both Queens and Brooklyn and is reachable by car, subway or bus.
What languages are classes taught in, and what is the format?
Classes are taught in both English and Russian. All instruction is in person, with real hands-on practice on clinical equipment, not online and not theory-only. Classes are currently offered on weekends, with evening classes planned as an option in the future.
What happens after I send an inquiry?
We review your answers: education, preparation stage, English level and previous attempts. Depending on them, you get an invitation to the free webinar or a one-on-one conversation with the instructor. Schedule, cost and materials are discussed there. The form itself does not reserve a place.
Can I take the NCLEX-RN in Russian?
No. NCSBN gives the NCLEX-RN only in English, so every item on the exam is in English. In this program the practice questions stay in English, as on the exam, while the clinical logic behind them can be explained in Russian.
