The team
Built by working nurses.
100+ years bedside.
Most nursing apps are built by software companies who hire a nurse for advice. RN PocketPal is built the other way around — designed by working bedside nurses, then engineered with modern tooling.
Who shows up
The four groups behind every tile.
We don’t list names yet — the founding RN is still on the floor and a few reviewers prefer not to be publicly identified while working in contract-sensitive environments.
Founding RN
14 years bedside
Telemetry, step-down, ICU, ED — US acute-care. Designed the toolkit and writes the clinical specs every tile is built against.
Clinical advisory
4 RNs
Charge-nurse leadership, OB/L&D, oncology, nursing education. Each tool that touches clinical decision-support goes through their review before release.
Beta-review cohort
25–30 nurses
Telemetry, med-surg, NICU, hospice, home-health. They use the app during real shifts and feed back lived-experience corrections.
External counsel
On retainer
Healthcare attorney reviews the educational framing on every AI-assisted feature. Trademark counsel filed RNPOCKETPAL in Class 9.
Why the math matters
The combined-years number is the working math of all those people’s active bedside time. It isn’t a marketing flourish — it’s why a 5-character isolation checklist on the brain sheet is in the order it’s in, and why the Rhythm Reader refuses to guess below 70% confidence.
What we believe
The non-negotiables.
Patient data is your patient’s data.
It does not belong on our servers. RN PocketPal is designed for no intentional PHI storage, with cloud-backed features that prohibit PHI and use redaction where available.
AI features refuse to guess.
Below ~70% confidence the Rhythm Reader says "rhythm uncertain — verify with calipers" instead of throwing out a probably-wrong answer. Confidently misleading is worse than no answer.
Educational decision-support is enough.
Clinical judgment is the clinician’s job. This is regulatory posture and it’s also the right ethical posture. We keep the app framed as educational decision-support by being honest about what it is.
$5/month is the right price.
Not the price that extracts the most. The price that respects you. About a sixth of Medscape, with tools Medscape doesn’t have.
Nurses know what nurses need.
Software people guess. Every clinical tool ships only after a working RN signs off on it. Every tile in the app has a reviewer name attached.
No friction asymmetry.
Five-second signup means five-second cancel. No win-back funnel, no retention call, no five-step exit interview. Leaving should be as straightforward as joining.
Who we’re building for
Every license, every specialty, every shift.
Bedside RNs, LPNs/LVNs, advanced-practice nurses (NPs, CRNAs, CNMs, CNSs), nursing assistive personnel (CNAs, dialysis techs), and nursing students at every level. Each role gets a default toolkit; users customize from there.
