About this app

Built by an RN for nurses, nursing students and CNAs. Ask it a question mid-shift, plan your roster, track what you earn, and practise for the exam you are sitting.

ASK AI — HANDS-FREE, MID-SHIFT
Press and hold and ask it the way you would ask a colleague. Drug lookups, drip rates, dose math, lab values — answered out loud so you never have to look down. Ask for a calculation and it opens the calculator with your numbers already in it. Patient identifiers are scrubbed on the device before anything is sent, and the app never asks for a name or an MRN. It is a reference aid you verify, not clinical advice you follow.

TEST PREP, WRITTEN NOT SCRAPED
Practice banks for NCLEX-RN, NCLEX-PN, CNA, ACLS, PALS and BLS — for nursing school and for the certifications you renew. Every item is original, written against a published test plan or the 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, with a full rationale for every answer option, not just the right one. These are practice questions, not real exam questions, and they do not certify or license you.

PLANNER — SHIFTS AND PAY
• Multi-job shift schedule — work several jobs without a paper calendar
• Photograph your schedule and AI extracts the shifts for you
• Repeating rotations: 3-on-3-off, Pitman, every-other-weekend, or your own cycle
• Overtime calculated properly — weekly 40, the healthcare 8/80 rule, daily 8 and 12 state rules, with night, weekend, holiday and charge differentials
• Real-time income: per-employer, weekly, monthly and year-to-date, plus a year-end tax-prep checklist
• Log the paycheck you were actually paid and see whether it matches the shifts you worked
• PTO, sick and holiday tracking, and shift reminders
• "Worth picking up?" — what an extra shift adds after overtime and tax

TOOLS — ON SHIFT
• Brain sheet with vitals, and an SBAR handoff report sheet for bedside shift report
• Drip rate, dosage and IV compatibility calculators
• Lab values, drug and pharmacology reference, medical dictionary, ICD-10
• Rhythm Practice for EKG and ECG review
• Care plans, shift tasks, CEU and licence tracking

WHY NURSES KEEP IT
Six browser tabs and a folded paper brain sheet is not a system. This is the drug reference, the calculator, the pay tracker and the practice bank in one place, offline where it can be.

WHO IT IS FOR
New grads on orientation and the nurses precepting them. Med-surg, telemetry and step-down, ICU, ED, peri-op, LTC and clinic. Night shift, rotating shift and weekend staff. Float pool, per diem and travel nurses picking up across more than one employer. Charge nurses. CNAs, PCTs and nurse aides. And nursing students working through school, clinicals and the NCLEX.

PRIVACY
Local-first by design. Brain sheets stay on your device. No patient identifiers are required anywhere in the app, and AI features receive identifier-scrubbed data only. This is not a medical record and not a HIPAA-compliant charting system.

NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE
RN PocketPal is an educational reference and decision-support tool for nursing professionals. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace your clinical judgement. Always verify findings independently and follow your facility's policies.
