  • During our learning platform upgrade, you may experience a broken link—we're human and might have missed something! If this impacts your learning experience, please email us and provide the link that you were unable to access. We are working hard behind the scenes to correct any issues.

    Thank you for your patience as we upgrade our systems — these improvements will make your learning experience even better with Real World NP.

  • As a company, we work very, very hard on our products to ensure high quality, and that they are what we say they are -- who it’s for (or not), what it is, and what it isn’t. We also are a small but mighty (and growing) team, and we truly stand by the work we do. With all those things in mind, we don’t currently offer any refunds. If you’d like to sample the teachings we offer (I know it can feel risky to invest in a course!), check out our YouTube channel or podcast -- if you like the way we teach, the quality is the same inside the courses! Inside the courses are just even more in-depth, and practical, and have a lot more cheat sheets, downloads, and opportunities to ask questions and be supported.

  • We offer payment plans for some of our courses. Please review the payment information on each course’s page for information.

  • Yes, you will receive a receipt from our payment portal. If it's not in your inbox, please check your spam/junk folder. If however, you did not receive it, please contact us at support@realworldnp.com.

  • Most of our products are a one-time purchase. Payment pages for each specific course will provide all the detailed information you are looking for. Should your purchase specify that is a monthly subscription, the terms of the subscription will also be detailed there.

    1. Click on the “log in” link in the top right corner of our website. That will take you to Thinkific, where we host all of our courses.

Please check your spam and junk folders for an email from us with new login information. Use the original email address that you used to create your account, you may have to create or reset your password.

    3. Please make sure you are logging in to the correct platform. We now use Thinkific - linked via the login button.

    4. If you are having trouble with your password, and you’ve clicked on the “forgot your password” and haven’t yet received an email, check your spam or junk mail folder.  If you still haven’t received it, please contact us at support@realworldnp.com.

  • Once you have successfully completed a course that offers ANCC contact hours, your certificate will be displayed inside the respective course in your student dashboard. If you can't find it, contact us at support@realworldnp.com

  • Certain courses will be available in their entirety immediately while others are dripped out on schedule.

    If the course is a “drip course” that means it will release modules as they are available.

    Make sure you have marked all your lessons as "complete" - it helps unlock the next module when it becomes available.

  • Products will be updated should we discover any errors or should there be any major medical updates.


    Otherwise, all products are a one time purchase that only grant you access to said product/course for the specified amount of time, indicated when you purchased the item.

    New iterations and volumes of any product are not considered extensions of your one time purchase and must be purchased as a new product.

  • Unless otherwise specified, you will have access to your purchase for 1 year from date of purchase. This is our default access term limit.

Billing & General Questions

  • The Quick Text Library: Volume 1 is a collection of editable, standardized charting templates for common chief complaints in primary care (such as abdominal pain, headache, and dizziness). Each entry includes a structured HPI, ROS, PE, Assessment, and Plan section designed to save time while maintaining high-quality, CMS-compliant documentation.

  • The Quick Text Library is a copy-and-paste reference tool. You’ll copy the sections you want to use and manually add them to your own EHR’s quick text, macro, or template feature. Each EHR has its own method for storing and using templates—so you’ll follow your organization’s guidelines for setup.

  • The templates are written in plain, universal text for readability and compatibility across systems. They do not include EHR-specific coding or “smart fields.” You can adapt the bracketed prompts (like [age] [gender description]) or add your own smart fields if your system uses them.

  • No problem. The templates are organized to make setup simple. Start with one or two complaints (for example, abdominal pain or headache), add them to your EHR using your preferred short codes, and build from there. The included Quick Start Guide walks you through this process step-by-step.

  • The Quick Text Library: Volume 1 is designed primarily for nurse practitioners in primary care, especially those in their first 1–3 years of practice (or if they’re transferring into primary care from a specialty), who want to save time, improve consistency, and strengthen their clinical reasoning while documenting.

    While NP students are welcome to use it as a teaching and reference tool, it is not designed to teach documentation or clinical decision-making from the ground up. Instead, it helps bridge the gap between what’s learned in school and what’s required in real-world practice—offering prompts, structure, and examples to reinforce learning once you’re seeing patients independently.

  • No. For privacy and compliance, do not paste real patient information into the shared or saved Quick Text Library files. Always enter patient details only in your secure EHR environment.

  • Yes. The templates are fully editable and designed to be customized for your documentation style, clinic structure, and EHR requirements.

  • Yes! The Quick Text Library includes an optional CE component to earn 1.5 ANCC contact hours, helping you apply the documentation concepts in practice.

  •  You’ll have access for one year from your purchase date.

Questions on our Quick Text

  • The NP CE Tracker is a Google Sheets tool designed to help you stay organized with your continuing education activities. It provides a clear structure for recording your CE titles, dates, topics, credit hours, and certificate details in one place.

  • Yes. You’ll input each activity you complete—this tool helps you keep your information consistent and easy to reference when it’s time to renew your license or certification.

  • Yes. Once you enter your hours, the tracker automatically adds up your total CE hours and organizes them by category (e.g., pharmacology, ethics). It’s designed to make your next renewal checklist painless.

  •  No. It’s an organizational tool only. You’ll need to keep your individual CE certificates for documentation.

  • Basic comfort with spreadsheets is helpful. You’ll type directly into editable fields—no complex setup required. If you’d rather work on paper, you can download or print it as a PDF.

  • Yes. The tracker includes sections for multiple states or boards if you maintain more than one credential.

  • No, this tool does not provide CE credit. It’s for tracking the CE activities you complete through other providers.

  •  You’ll have access for one year from your purchase date.

Questions on our NP License & Renewal Tracker

  • The NP License & Renewal Tracker is an organizational tool built in Google Sheets to help you keep track of all your professional credentials—like your NP license, DEA registration, prescriptive authority, and national certification—in one simple place.

  • It’s ideal for nurse practitioners managing multiple licenses or certifications across states, or anyone who wants a simple, centralized way to stay compliant.

  • Yes. This is a manual tracking tool, which means you’ll input your own license numbers, issue dates, renewal due dates, and notes. It’s designed to make renewal cycles visual and easy to manage.

  • Basic familiarity is helpful, but the setup is simple. You’ll type directly into the spreadsheet—no formulas or advanced skills required. If you prefer a paper version, you can download or print it as a PDF with one click.

  • Yes. You can open and update your tracker in Google Sheets on desktop or mobile, or download it to Excel if you prefer offline use.

  • No. The tracker itself does not send reminders, but it includes clear instructions on how to link your renewal dates to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar so you can set custom notifications.

  • No. This tracker focuses on license and certification management. For CE tracking, we recommend using our NP CE Tracker & Certificate Organizer.

  •  You’ll have access for one year from your purchase date.
