For nursing students at every level
The clinical day,
prepared the right way.
Built for Student RN, Student LPN/LVN, and Student CNA. Clinical prep, Care Plan scaffolding, NCLEX practice, and the same clinical reference the working nurses use — priced like a student app should be.

Three student roles
Each role gets a different default toolkit.
We don’t hand a Student CNA the same screen as a senior-year Student RN. The app asks once, then lays itself out around the work you actually do.
Role
Student RN
Full clinical toolkit + Care Plan + NCLEX practice
Rotation-aware tile set. Brain sheet variants for Med-Surg, Tele, ICU, Peds, OB, and Psych clinicals.
Role
Student LPN/LVN
LPN scope-aware toolkit + NCLEX-PN practice
Brain sheet trimmed to LPN-scope tasks; AI scrubbing same as RN.
Role
Student CNA
ADL workflow + vitals + I&O timer
No drug-administration tools. CNA-appropriate care plan elements only.
A clinical day with PocketPal
From night-before prep to the post-conference reflection.
- Night before
Clinical day prep
Pre-fill the brain sheet with the patients your instructor sent. The Unfamiliar Dx tool gives you a 3-line plain-English summary of each diagnosis with a source link — no Googling at 22:00.
- Pre-conference
Pathophysiology + priorities
AI Care Plan starter scaffolds NANDA/NOC/NIC structure from the brain sheet. You write the rationale — the tool surfaces what to consider, never the answer.
- Mid-shift
Drug + lab lookups
Pill Imprint, IV Compatibility, and Lab Reference Values are all in your pocket. No flipping through the unit drug book.
- Post-conference
SBAR + reflection
SBAR scaffolding generates the structure; you fill the clinical reasoning. Reflection prompts match the rubric your school actually uses.
- NCLEX prep
Practice & spaced review
AI Trivia + AI Memory deck generator turns weak topics into spaced-repetition flashcards. NCLEX & Cert practice mode runs in offline mode for break-time drilling.
Student-specific tools
Built for the way clinical and theory braid together.

What we got right
Four things instructors and students both asked for.
Source-cited, never AI-hallucinated
Every clinical fact in the app carries a source link to AHA, CDC, FDA, or a current peer-reviewed reference. The Care Plan scaffolds prompt your reasoning — they don't invent rationale.
No essay-writing for you
Note Writer scaffolds structure. Care Plan scaffolds elements. You write the clinical reasoning. We deliberately built the AI tools so they can't do your assignment.
PHI stays local
Patient names + room numbers live in iOS Keychain on the device. They never sync to a cloud unless you opt in. Same posture as the working-RN version.
Dynamic Type + dark mode
Built for 0500 clinical mornings and 02:00 NCLEX cramming. VoiceOver on every element. 44pt touch targets.
Frequently asked
From students and instructors.
Do I get a student discount?
Same Pocketpal Pro price ($5/mo or $49/yr) for everyone. We didn't set a separate student tier because $5/mo is already designed to be student-affordable. A formal student tier is on the roadmap once we have enough student data to know what to differentiate.
Will this help me pass NCLEX?
The Practice & Cert tool drills NCLEX-style questions by topic, and the AI Memory deck generator turns your weak areas into spaced-repetition flashcards. It is not a replacement for UWorld or Saunders — think of it as the pocket-sized companion that fills the in-between minutes.
Can my instructor see what I write?
No. Brain sheet contents, care plans, and SBAR notes live on your device. They don't sync to your school, your instructor, or any cloud. Export to PDF is one tap if your instructor wants to see your work.
Is the AI going to write my care plan?
No, and we built it that way on purpose. The AI Care Plan scaffolds the NANDA/NOC/NIC structure and surfaces the clinical considerations from the diagnosis. The rationale, the prioritization, and the actual writing stay yours. We won't ship a tool that does academic fraud.
Does it work in clinical Wi-Fi dead zones?
Yes. Brain sheet, lab values, IV compatibility, code cards, and the calculators all work offline. The AI features need a network connection because they call a PHI-scrubbed proxy.
