NCLIPS helps aspiring nurses prepare for the NCLEX with AI-powered learning, short video lessons, practice questions, and personalized study support. WHAT'S INSIDE Bite-size video lessons — high-yield NCLEX material broken into short clips, organized by chapter so you always know what's next. Study Buddy, your AI tutor - ask anything by text or live voice, anywhere in the app: beside the lesson you're watching, inside your notes, or while reviewing a practice question. Built for NCLEX study, not general medical advice. Study notes - per-video summaries, key points, and medical terms. Save what matters, highlight it, and export to PDF. NGN exams and question bank - case studies, SATA, and matrix questions in the Next Generation NCLEX formats, with a rationale for every answer. Progress tracking - resume where you left off, see how far through each chapter you are, and get optional study reminders. COURSES Medical-Surgical Nursing - all body systems: cardio, respiratory, neuro, endocrine, renal, and more. Pharmacology - drug classes, mechanisms, side effects, interactions, and high-yield pharm questions. SUBSCRIPTION Full access to Nclips requires a subscription.
