## What is RN PocketPal?

Built by an RN for nurses, nursing students and CNAs. Plan your shifts, track what you earn, look things up fast, and practise for the exam you are sitting.

SHIFT CALENDAR AND PAY
• Multi-job shift schedule — work several jobs without a paper calendar
• Photograph your schedule and AI extracts the shifts for you
• Repeating rotations: 3-on-3-off, Pitman, every-other-weekend, or your own cycle
• Overtime calculated properly — weekly 40, the healthcare 8/80 rule, daily 8 and 12 state rules, with night, weekend, holiday and charge differentials
• Real-time income: per-employer, weekly, monthly and year-to-date, plus a year-end tax-prep checklist
• Log the paycheck you were actually paid and see whether it matches the shifts you worked
• PTO, sick and holiday tracking, and shift reminders
• "Worth picking up?" — what an extra shift adds after overtime and tax

EXAM PRACTICE, WRITTEN NOT SCRAPED
Practice banks for NCLEX-RN, NCLEX-PN, CNA, ACLS, PALS and BLS — exam prep for nursing school and for the certifications you renew. Every item is original, written against a published test plan or the 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, with a full rationale for every answer option, not just the right one. These are practice questions, not real exam questions, and they do not certify or license you.

ON SHIFT
• Brain sheet with vitals, and a bedside handoff report
• Drip rate, dosage and IV compatibility calculators
• Lab values, drug and pharmacology reference, medical dictionary, ICD-10
• Rhythm Reader for EKG and ECG review
• Care plans, shift tasks, CEU and licence tracking

PRIVACY
Local-first by design. Brain sheets stay on your device. No patient identifiers are required anywhere in the app, and AI features receive identifier-scrubbed data only. This is not a medical record and not a HIPAA-compliant charting system.

NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
RN PocketPal is an educational reference and decision-support tool for nursing professionals. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace your clinical judgement. Always verify findings independently and follow your facility's policies.

TRADEMARKS
NCLEX-RN® and NCLEX-PN® are registered trademarks of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, Inc. (NCSBN®). NNAAP® is a registered trademark of NCSBN; the NNAAP program is managed by Credentia Nurse Aide LLC. BLS®, ACLS® and PALS® are trademarks of the American Heart Association (AHA®).

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6.3 — 2026-09-15

Fixed: the Planner's Income dashboard, Paychecks and Manage employers rows did nothing when tapped. Manage employers is the only way to add a facility or agency, so shifts could not be assigned to an employer and pay had to be entered per shift. All three open again.

Also updated the App Store screenshots to match the current app.

### 1.6.2 — 2026-09-15

Shift planner, rebuilt.

• Overtime that matches your paycheck — weekly 40, the healthcare 8/80 rule, and daily 8/12 state rules, with night, weekend, holiday and charge differentials folded into the regular rate the way the FLSA actually requires. Overtime is figured per employer, never combined.
• Repeating rotations: 3-on-3-off, Pitman, every-other-weekend, or build your own cycle.
• PTO, sick and holiday tracking, kept separate from hours worked so paid time off never invents overtime.
• Shift reminders that fire when you set them.
• Log a paycheck and see whether it matches the shifts you actually worked.
• "Worth picking up?" — what an extra shift really adds after overtime and tax.
• Agenda view, calendar import, and a Next Shift widget for your Home Screen.

New practice banks: ACLS, PALS and BLS, written against the 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC — including the reversals that catch people out, like IV access before IO. Every item carries a full rationale and was reviewed twice.

Also in this release:
• New practice exams appear the first time you open Test Prep, instead of only after a restart.
• Each practice exam shows the right name and time limit — CNA exams correctly show a 2-hour limit.
• Corrected the subscription prices shown in the app.
• A faster, more personal first run.

### 1.6 — 2026-09-13

Test Prep is now its own tab.

• Pick the exam you're studying for — NCLEX-RN, NCLEX-PN/LVN, or the CNA competency exam — and switch whenever you like.
• New: five full-length NCLEX-PN-style practice exams, 85 items each, with unfolding case studies and a category-by-category readout.
• Your shift countdown moved to Tools, alongside the rest of your shift workflow.
• New practice content can now arrive without waiting for an app update.

Practice questions are for study only and don't predict your exam result.

### 1.5 — 2026-09-07

Shift countdown
Set your shift length and watch the time remaining right on the Shift tab. 8, 10, 12 hours or a custom end time, and it turns coral in the last half hour.

Partial scoring for practice sessions
Leave a session early and you now get a real score for the questions you actually answered, instead of losing the work. Unanswered questions are not counted against you.

CNA practice exams
Five full-length practice forms, 70 questions each, matched to the current nurse aide written-exam blueprint. Every question carries a written explanation for each answer choice. Works offline.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-02

The assistant is now the main way to use RN PocketPal. Ask a question in plain language and get an answer, or have it open the tool you need.

• New Ask AI tab, centred in the tab bar
• 1,144 medications with sourced reference data from FDA, DailyMed, NIOSH, Health Canada and EMA
• Drug lookups, drip rates and dose math answered directly in chat
• Free accounts include 3 assistant questions per day; all 29 tools stay available without a subscription

Some reference content is drafted with AI assistance and is not individually reviewed by a clinician. Verify against your facility's policy and your own judgment.
