What to expect your first year  ›  Schedule builder

Build your pre-nursing study schedule

Tell it when your program starts and how much time you have each day, and it builds a week-by-week plan across the five first-year foundations. Everything runs in your browser — no account, no waiting, no data sent anywhere.

The five foundations the plan covers

  • A&P review — the body systems you'll be assessing from day one
  • Medical terminology — the language everything else is taught in
  • Math & dosage basics — the skill nurses practice daily (see the dosage primer)
  • Infection-control concepts — standard precautions from day one of clinicals
  • Study skills — nursing school tests application, not memorization

Your inputs

Three answers, and the plan writes itself.
