  • A paper brain sheet you inherited on day one that never matched how you think.
  • Forgetting the small things — a hung antibiotic, a pending lab, a call light promise — while you learn the big things.
  • Giving report that still feels like an oral exam.

What RN PocketPal does

  • Whole-patient-on-one-screen: allergies, code status, drips, last labs.
  • Time-management scaffolding with scheduled tasks and reminders.
  • SBAR report prompt so handoff has a structure to lean on.
  • Don't-forget task rows with reassessment prompts.
  • Grows with you — switch off the scaffolding as your own system forms.

Who it’s for

For New graduate RNs and nurses in orientation.

Frequently asked questions

Is this too basic once I'm off orientation?
No — the same sheet flexes. New grads lean on the scaffolding and prompts; experienced nurses toggle them off and keep the fast whole-patient view. It grows with you.
Will it help me give report?
Yes. The SBAR prompt gives your handoff a structure so you're not reconstructing it from a smudged page at 0700.
Does it work for any specialty as a new grad?
Start with the new-grad variant, then switch to your unit's specialty sheet (tele, med-surg, ICU, ER) as you settle in.
Where does my patient data go?
Nowhere — it stays on your iPhone in encrypted local storage. Use initials and keep it to the minimum you need.
