Built by a Nurse, for Nurses

RNroadmap was created by Walner Alcius, a BSN- and CCRN-certified ICU nurse who spent years watching students and new grads drown in scattered, bloated study material. Instead of another generic review course, he built the resource he wished he'd had — one roadmap from CNA through nursing school and the NCLEX.

Every guide, flashcard deck, and audio lesson is grounded in real bedside experience, distilled down to exactly what you need to know, minus the fluff. Whether you're in CNA or LPN school, prepping for the NCLEX, or starting your first year as an RN, RNroadmap meets you exactly where you are — and gets you where you're going next.

I'm Walner Alcius — an ICU nurse, and the person behind every guide on this site. I remember exactly how overwhelming nursing school felt when I started. Eleven years later — seven of them in the ICU (RN, BSN, CCRN) — I still remember that road.

That's why I created RNroadmap: clear, no-fluff resources written the way a good preceptor explains things on the floor — for CNA, LPN, nursing school, and the NCLEX.

I've walked the hardest parts myself. I earned my bachelor's, got into the ICU, and learned how much nursing school leaves out. So I gathered what actually matters at the bedside and built the study guides I wished I'd had — so the next nurse walks in ready, not guessing.

Every guide, question, and lesson is built from real bedside knowledge — not recycled textbook theory — so you learn exactly what you need for the exam and the unit floor.

Built by an ICU nurse for nursing students and RNs

That real-world foundation means every resource is designed to close the gap between passing an exam and actually knowing what to do when it counts.

Amazing Experience!

“Honestly, this got me through nursing school, and I still pull it up now that I'm on the floor. It's not bloated like the big review books — just what you actually need. I've already passed it to a couple coworkers.”

Tim D.

ICU Nurse · California

“I've been in the ICU for years and these still earned a spot on my phone. Straight to the point — no fluff, just what you actually reach for at the bedside. Honestly wish I'd had them back when I was grinding for my CCRN.”

Ronald K.

Float Pool · ICU / MedSurg · California

“As a float pool nurse, I bounce between ICU, MedSurg, and Tele — RNroadmap's flashcards keep me sharp no matter where I land. Clear, accurate, and built by someone who's actually been at the bedside.”

Jessica M.

BSN Graduate · Texas

“Passed my NCLEX-RN on the first try in 85 questions! The rationale breakdowns and study guides are hands down the best investment I made during nursing school.”
