A must-have
Just the essentials! This is what you need! After all the things us nursing students have to remember, this makes it easier to organize my thoughts when it comes to check offs!

Amazing
I love these cards! It makes the information so much easier to comprehend. It also decreases the time I spend studying because I don’t have to take notes on 5 chapters in the book anymore. I love using them with the videos too! I highly recommend these flashcards. I am passing school with an A at the moment!

Clinical Nursing Skills Flashcards
This is not my first purchase with Level Up RN. I was excited when I saw the new Clinical Nursing Skills pack and had to purchase. As a nursing student trying to save time any way possible, these flashcards have been extremely helpful along with the other Level Up RN videos for extra help/explanation on those more difficult subjects. This has been a great resource for nursing school.

Skills
I’ve been using these flash cards since nursing school. They really help me Increase my mastery levels. I love the flash cards but I wish all the videos were on YouTube. The main reason why I bought them was because of the YouTube videos. Not all the systems are uploaded so I’m a little disappointed.
