We Make Nursing School FUN and Easy!
Helping Nurse Educators with Professional Faculty Development. Helping Nursing Students Simplify Large Volumes of Complex Nursing Information to Make Learning Easy and Manageable, for Both NCLEX® and Nursing School Success!
Next Generation NCLEX® Prep
Do you ever feel overwhelmed on your journey through nursing school?
Do you ever get lost in the volumes of information you must learn?
Do you ever feel like you are in a “pressure cooker nursing school gumbo” thrown together with poor-quality ingredients that take hours to review?
If you answered yes, I CAN Publishing®, Inc. has the answers for you!
We believe “Less Is Best, and More Is a Bore” as long as you have the correct information! The first step to learning how to think like a nurse and making safe clinical judgments is to MASTER nursing information! Content mastery has to be learned before decision making can occur!
These resources will decrease the time you have to spend wading through traditional textbooks and piles of notes as you learn to master information. Less time on memorizing and more time on learning how to apply and make safe clinical decisions and judgments are the keys to Next Generation NCLEX® Success! Both the workshops and books will guide students in developing the habit of prioritization, a key component for clinical judgment!

The I Can Story
A Message from Loretta Manning, MSN, RN, GNP
Co-Founder/President
My dream has been to help students succeed in learning since working with nursing students in school, and experiencing how many students struggled to learn the large volumes of nursing concepts and pharmacology.
It all began when one of my students was unable to identify the four defects of Tetralogy of Fallot. In order to assist her, I drew an image and wrote a mnemonic on a scrap piece of paper. The next day she was able to answer a question from a mother of a newborn about the congenital heart defect after the nurse was unable to recall the specifics of the congenital heart defect. The student linked the heart defect in her brain and was able to successfully review the facts. The nurse was impressed and asked the student to share the strategy with her, so she could also remember. This was a student who typically struggled to get Cs, and started getting As and Bs. With this renewed self-confidence, she started excelling in clinical as well. She shared with the dean that her success was from the memory strategies I was sharing with her group both in clinical and the classroom. She was now learning the priority standards, concepts, and pharmacology that were necessary for her to master. Once she mastered the information, I was able to assist her to learn how to develop the skills of clinical judgment.
With the encouragement of many students and faculty, I continued developing memory techniques for classroom presentations, clinical to recall priority pharmacology facts, and NCLEX-RN® Review Courses. I was invited to participate in writing a question book to prepare nursing graduates for the NCLEX-RN® entitled NCLEX-RN® 101: How to Pass! This was the birth of I CAN Publishing, Inc., also known as Creative Approaches to Nursing. When you think of I CAN, we want you to know our books, resources, and services are all from identified needs from nursing students and faculty.
Our Mission:
We are committed to developing the best tools on the market to help nursing faculty educators & their students develop the skills necessary to save lives.
