## What is RN PocketPal?

RN PocketPal is the digital pocket reference built for bedside nurses by a nurse with 14 years on telemetry, step-down, ICU, and the ED. It replaces the half-dozen browser tabs, paper cheat sheets, and dog-eared report sheets nurses juggle every shift — and adds an educational rhythm-strip review that no other reference app offers.

WHAT'S INSIDE

— Customizable brain sheet, per shift type
   Tele, med-surg, ICU, ER, and L&D variants. Allergies, code status, isolation, active drips, recent labs with critical-range flags, and the freeform notes that actually get you through report. Long-press any row to edit. Save your own template.

— Drip and dose calculators
   Weight-based pediatric and adult dosing. Vasoactive titration tables. IV gtts/min. 4-2-1 maintenance fluids. Reverse-calculate to a target dose. Weight auto-fills from your brain sheet.

— Lab reference with critical-value flags
   Normal ranges with age and sex variants. Common panels grouped the way you actually read them.

— IV compatibility checker
   Y-site checker for the medications you actually run together.

— Rhythm Reader (educational decision-support)
   Point the camera at a rhythm strip or telemetry monitor. RN PocketPal identifies what the rhythm could be, with a confidence score, top alternates, and full interval measurements (PR, QRS, QT, QTc) so you can verify with calipers. Educational reference only — RN PocketPal does not make clinical decisions, treat, or replace clinical judgment.

— ACLS, BLS, PALS code cards
   Algorithm cards plus sepsis bundle, stroke, STEMI — fully offline.

— Med-pass timer
   Scheduled doses, PRN cooldown reminders, reassessment prompts.

— License and CEU tracker
   Renewal alerts by state Board of Nursing. BLS and ACLS expiration tracking. CE log.

— Reference library
   Medical jargon translator, ICD-10 lookup, pill imprint identification, abbreviations, normal ranges, audits, care plan builder, note writer.

BUILT WITH PRIVACY AS THE DEFAULT

— Names and room numbers, if you choose to enter them, stay on your device only. They are never sent to any server.
— Rhythm Reader processes images on-device whenever your phone supports it.
— Crash reports and analytics scrub free-text fields before anything leaves your phone, using an allowlist — not a denylist.
— No third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.

ROLES SUPPORTED

RN, LPN/LVN, NP, CRNA, CNM, CNS, CNA, Home Health Aide, Dialysis Technician, and student nurses (Student RN, Student LPN/LVN, Student CNA). Each role gets a default tile set; everything is customizable.

PRICING

Free tier includes Friend Finder, Marketplace browsing, Unionize, and the Practice and Ethics reference.

Pocketpal Pro — auto-renewable subscription
• Monthly: $4.99 USD / 1 month
• Annual: $49.99 USD / 1 year

The full clinical toolkit — calculators, Rhythm Reader, brain sheets, references, AI study tools, multi-device sync — is part of Pocketpal Pro. 14-day free trial for new subscribers. Trial converts to the selected paid plan unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. Your Apple ID is charged at confirmation of purchase and at the start of each renewal period. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID's Subscriptions list (Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions). Less than a sixth of what comparable nurse reference apps charge, with a Rhythm Reader the others don't offer.

THE LANGUAGE WE USE ON PURPOSE

RN PocketPal is educational decision-support, not a medical device. It does not make clinical decisions, treat, or replace your clinical judgment. Always verify findings independently. We use the words "identify (educational)" and "what this could be" deliberately — you are the nurse, you make the call.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-06-12

Med Reference, expanded: now 1,100+ medications, each linked to its official FDA label — with label-sourced dosing, routes, and indications for educational reference. Always verify with your facility references and pharmacy.

Rhythm Reader, sharper: reads the strip's printed grid to calibrate timing, corrects for glare and uneven lighting, supports 25/50 mm/s paper speeds and multi-lead strips, and offers manual grid calibration plus landscape-capture guidance. Results use educational pattern names with alternates to consider and interval measurements — verify with calipers.

New tool — Inventory Manager: track your unit's shared equipment. Check items out and in, flag repairs and cleaning, and print or scan QR asset labels. Equipment details only — no names, MRNs, or DOBs.

Practice mode: rhythm practice strips now come from real, clinically labeled recordings — for educational practice only.

Plus: employer and union account status updates right after approval, and assorted fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-06-02

A short user-facing changelog (e.g. "You'll now see a banner when an update is available, plus smoother in-app feedback prompts."). Keep it in brand voice, no clinical claims.

Build — scroll to the Build section, click + / Select, pick 1.2 (1).

Screenshots/description/keywords carry over from 1.1 — only change them if you want to.

### 1.0 — 2026-05-28
