Study smarter for exams, clinicals, and the NCLEX.
Pass the Shift has clear, original study guides for nursing students. You get the priorities, labs, meds, and practice questions, with tap-to-define terms so you never get stuck on jargon.
Why students use it
- Priorities first. Each guide follows the same layout: assessments, labs, interventions, meds, and NCLEX tips.
- Pop-up glossary. Tap a dotted term like afterload or orthopnea to get a plain-language definition.
- Practice with rationales. NCLEX-style questions that explain why each answer is right or wrong.
- Free and private. No account and no sign-up. Just open a guide and study.
