Interpreters & checkers
A Lab Interpreter that puts a value in context, plus an IV compatibility checker that shows how a Y-site question is worked through — each built to teach the method, not to stand in for your facility's own reference.
Feature tour
Everything in NURDE.
A clinical reference, NCLEX-style practice, calculators, terminology, and Spanish for Nurses — built for study and quick lookup, and organized the way a nurse's day actually runs.

These numbers describe the size of the content library. NURDE is an educational and reference tool — the counts say how much is there, not how it should be used in patient care.
Reference
Look it up on shift.
The heart of NURDE is a reference library organized the way nursing actually works — by specialty, then by tab, then by urgency. You open a category, land on the right tab, and scan cards that lead with what matters. It is written for study and quick lookup, not as a clinical authority.
- 1,300+ reference cards across 25+ clinical categories, each grouped into tabs so related material sits together.
- Two reading views. A full Study view for learning, and a Quick view for fast recall on the floor.
- Search and jump. Reach the card you need in a few taps, with matching terms highlighted.
25+ categories, all live
From codes to med-surg
Depth today is strongest in critical care and med-surg. Every category below is live in the app.
- Code Blue
- ACLS Megacode
- Code Stroke
- Trauma
- Shock Suite
- Neuro
- Cardiac
- Vascular & Heme
- Pulmonary
- GI
- Metabolic & Endocrine

- ICU Advanced
- Medical Signs
Critical-care and med-surg depth is deepest today; OB, peds, and psych are on the published roadmap.
Practice
Study for the boards.
1,500+ NCLEX-style questions that mirror the formats the exam actually uses — including Next-Gen item types — with a written rationale on every item so you learn the reasoning, not just the letter.
- A rationale on every item. Each question explains why the right answer is right — and why the others aren't.
- Partial-credit scoring on select-all and Next-Gen items, so you get credit for what you got right.
- Spaced review and daily streaks. The scheduler brings a question back right before you'd forget it, and a Daily 10 keeps you consistent.
| Format | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Matrix / grid | Mark the correct cell in each row of a small table. |
| Bow-tie | Connect actions, a condition, and parameters to monitor. |
| Cloze (drop-down) | Choose the right option from an in-sentence menu. |
| Highlight | Select the relevant words in a passage. |
| Multiple choice | Pick the single best answer. |
| Select all that apply | Choose every correct option; scored with partial credit. |
| Ordering | Put the steps in the correct sequence. |

Educational teaching tools
Run the numbers.
140+ interactive teaching tools live inside the categories they belong to — calculators, scoring aids, and step-through references built to teach the method. Every one is an educational aid: follow your facility's policy and confirm any value against a current, authoritative source.
Calculators
Step-through calculators for drips and for the Parkland formula walk you through the inputs so the reasoning sticks, not just the result.
Scoring & assessment
Practice the scales you're expected to know — GCS, NIHSS, Braden, the HIT 4T score, and ESI triage — as teaching tools you can work through by hand.

Medical terminology
Learn the language.
1,000+ medical terms plus the parts they're built from — so you can decode a long word on sight instead of memorizing each one.
Word-part builder
Combine 220+ prefixes, roots, and suffixes to see how a term is assembled — and take it apart the same way in reverse.
Flashcards & quiz
Flip through an index-card deck or test yourself with a quiz, so the terms you meet on shift are already familiar.
Abbreviations
110+ abbreviations, including a Do-Not-Use reference so you recognize the ones to write out in full.

Spanish for nurses
Speak with your patient.
340+ Spanish medical phrases grouped by the moments they come up in — greetings, admission, assessment, and language access — each with a pronunciation guide and text-to-speech.
- Pronunciation on every phrase, with text-to-speech in a male or female voice.
- Grouped by the moment — from first words to interpreter and language-access rights.
- An educational aid, not a substitute for a certified medical interpreter — the app says so on the screen.
Your account
Make it yours — and keep it private.
One free account, no patient data, and the parts that should stay on your phone stay on your phone.
Favorites & private notes
Star the cards you reach for most, and add a private note to any card — a clinical pearl, a unit-specific detail, a reminder. Your notes and favorites stay on your device.
Study progress across devices
Your spaced-review schedule and streak follow you across devices with one free account, so you can study on your phone and pick up where you left off.
Zero PHI
NURDE does not collect protected health information. Your account holds your email, name, role, and study progress — nothing about a patient.
Works without a connection
On the installed iOS and Android app, once you've signed in on the device, your reference library and practice questions load without a network connection — handy where signal is thin.
NURDE is free to use at launch. First sign-in requires an account and email confirmation; after that, returning to the app does not require a connection.
Educational and reference use only. The reference content, teaching tools, and practice questions in NURDE are provided for study and general educational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional clinical judgment, institutional protocols, or a current drug reference. Content may contain errors and has not been reviewed for use in patient care — never rely on NURDE for a patient-care decision. Confirm every value against your facility's own policies and a current drug reference. NURDE does not provide medical advice or make clinical determinations, and does not collect protected health information (PHI).
