About

NurseCards

Features
Read full description

Pharmacology is one of the most heavily weighted areas on the NCLEX-RN® — and the one most nursing students say they forget fastest. NurseCards is built for that problem: 54 drug classes organized the way pharm is actually taught, with spaced repetition that brings each card back right before you'd forget it. Buy it once. No subscription, no auto-renewal, no account. WHAT'S INSIDE • 54 drug classes across 13 categories — cardiovascular, anticoagulants, endocrine, neuro and psych, pain, anti-infectives, GI, respiratory, OB, musculoskeletal, eye, herbals, and high-alert essentials • 378 flashcards covering mechanism, uses, side effects, adverse effects, contraindications, interactions, nursing considerations, patient teaching, labs and antidotes • A memorable mnemonic for every single class • 121 practice questions including Select-All-That-Apply, each with a full rationale • 8 unfolding case studies that walk the six clinical judgment steps • 20 dosage calculation drills with worked, step-by-step solutions STUDY MODES • Spaced repetition — grade each card Again, Hard, Good or Easy and the schedule adapts to you • Suffix Trainer — recognize a class instantly from "-olol", "-pril", "-floxacin" • Type It — typed recall, which sticks far better than multiple choice • Cram Mode — blitz an entire category the week before your exam • Weak-area drill — the app tracks accuracy by drug class and builds a session from your worst BUILT FOR EXAM DAY • Set your exam date and see the countdown on every screen • One daily reminder that tells you how many cards are waiting • Home screen and Lock Screen widgets for due cards, streak and days remaining • Progress tab with streak, cards mastered and accuracy by category WORKS ANYWHERE Everything lives on your device. No sign-in, no server, no ads, no tracking, no data collection of any kind. Study on the unit, on the subway, on a plane. Progress syncs privately between your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account. TRY IT FIRST Four complete drug classes, a full case study and dosage drills are free with every feature unlocked. One purchase opens everything, forever. Content is aligned to the 2026 NCLEX-RN® Test Plan. NurseCards is a study aid, not clinical guidance. Always follow your institution's policies and current prescribing information.
