United StatesVery helpful for exam review
I love these cards. I bought most of them so I could review the concepts without having to go back to my books. At the beginning of school, I was reading the books that the school suggested, but by the end, nothing would stick with me. Once I started using Level Up RN flashcards, I got better and better at memorizing the important information about the topics for diseases. So far I've been using them for my peds class and I'm getting As on all my exams, thanks to these flashcards. I would definitely recommend buying them, especially if you don't have time to read the books.

If you are having trouble understanding the long drawn out explanation in your nursing books. These are the cards for you. Simply explanation and helps you understand and comprehend all the different dysfunctions and disorders.
