NurseScript lives between your brain and the chart. Speak or type what happened, get a clean SBAR, SOAP, DAR, PIE, or narrative note — and let ChartGuard show you what a note like yours usually includes, before you save it. CHARTGUARD Falls, change in condition, wounds and skin, behavioral events — each kind of note has its own list of what nurses are commonly expected to document. ChartGuard reads what you wrote, shows you the items it doesn't see yet, and asks you about them: post-fall vitals, neuro checks, who was notified and when. Tap what you observed or answer in your own words, and NurseScript drafts the lines from your answers. You read the suggested note and accept or decline each addition. Nothing is added to your note until you accept it, and nothing is written from anything you didn't say. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Dictate notes hands-free and get formatted documentation back • Write and organize notes in SBAR, SOAP, DAR, PIE, or narrative styles • See what a fall, wound, behavioral, or change-in-condition note is missing with ChartGuard • Sketch, annotate, scan, and attach images on a full notepad canvas • Generate NANDA-based nursing care plan drafts to work from • Search across every note instantly • Export a single password-protected backup you fully control BUILT FOR PRIVACY Your notes are encrypted on your device and protected behind Face ID / Touch ID. Nothing is posted to a public feed or shared without you. You can export an encrypted backup and restore it on a new device. MADE FOR NURSES AND STUDENTS Whether you're on the floor or in clinicals, NurseScript helps you document faster and study the structure of good notes. PLANS NurseScript is free to start. Pro unlocks AI-assisted formatting, ChartGuard, and care plan drafts; Pro + Voice adds unlimited voice dictation and transcription. Yearly plans start with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions are billed through your Apple Account and renew automatically unless canceled; manage or cancel anytime in Settings. NurseScript supports your documentation workflow. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations, and does not replace clinical judgment or your facility's systems and policies.

SOAPy: Clinical Note Trainer is the clinical documentation trainer built for medical students, nurse practitioner students, physician assistant students, residents, and practicing providers who want to write better SOAP notes — faster. Practice on detailed, realistic patient scenarios across multiple cases and medical specialties, including Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, OB/GYN, Neurology, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Orthopedics, Dermatology, Geriatrics, Infectious Disease, Gastroenterology, and Endocrinology. Every case includes a full patient history, vital signs, physical exam findings, labs, and imaging — just like real clinical practice. FEEDBACK LIKE A REAL ATTENDING WOULD GIVE Submit your SOAP note and get feedback scored the way an attending would review it — section by section: Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan, each out of 25 points. You'll see exactly what you documented well, what you missed, and why it matters clinically. BUILT FOR HOW CLINICIANS ACTUALLY DOCUMENT SOAPy uses a structured narrative format that mirrors real EHR documentation. Each section includes guided fields for chief complaint, HPI, PMH, medications, allergies, social history, family history, and a full review of systems — then lets you write freely in your own clinical voice. FEATURES THAT MAKE YOU BETTER Daily Case: A new scenario every day Attending Mode: Review a note full of errors and find them all — just like a real peer review Patient Chat: Ask the patient follow-up questions and get responses in character, simulating a real clinical encounter Voice Dictation: Speak your note out loud exactly like providers do in real practice Weak Spot Drill: The app detects your lowest-scoring section and recommends targeted cases Note Comparison: See your note side by side with an ideal note after submission Timed Challenge: Practice under pressure with a countdown timer Score History: Track your improvement over time with a visual graph Dark Mode: Easy on the eyes during late-night study sessions PERSONALIZED TO YOUR TRAINING LEVEL SOAPy adapts its feedback to your role. A first-year medical student receives different guidance than a PA student or a practicing nurse practitioner. Select your role and specialty at onboarding, and every teaching moment is tailored to where you are in your training. WHY SOAP NOTES MATTER Poor documentation is one of the most common sources of medical errors, billing denials, and malpractice claims. SOAP notes are the foundation of every patient encounter — yet most programs give students only a handful of chances to practice before they're expected to write them independently in the clinic. SOAPy gives you unlimited reps. Practice as many times as you want, on as many cases as you want, and get expert-level feedback every time. Whether you're preparing for OSCEs, shelf exams, clinical rotations, or simply want to sharpen your documentation before your next shift, SOAPy is your personal attending, available 24/7.
