A walk through your shift
01Before report
Start your shift, not a search.
Start the shift timer, run your own pre-shift routine and log water as you go. Break mode pauses the clock. The checklist refuses anything that looks like a room number, a record number or a name.
02At the bedside
Two taps to a tool you can read at a glance.
Results update as you type, units are spelled out, and the formula and its source sit one tap away. Each tool shows its version and review date, so you always know what you are looking at.
03On the rehab floor
Rehab and long-term care get their own space.
Mobility safety, falls prevention, skin integrity and care transitions, as tickable checklists with a practice case to match. Built for inpatient rehab, skilled nursing and long-term care, not bolted on.
04Across the building
One app, ten care settings.
Pick your setting and NurseTools reorders itself around it: the right quick tools, topics and practice cases first. Float to another unit tomorrow and switch in one tap.

Care settings
From the ICU to the rehab gym.
Most nursing apps stop at the hospital door. NurseTools gives inpatient rehab, skilled nursing, long-term care and home health the same attention as med-surg.
Hospital
Med-Surg
Shift prep, falls, skin and infection prevention, handoff readiness.
ICU
Alarm awareness, critical-care learning, MAP and neuro scoring education.
Emergency
Early sepsis awareness, rapid learning, handoff habits.
Pediatrics
Family teaching and age-specific learning.
Maternal & Newborn
Maternal and newborn learning, family teaching.
Rehab & long-term care
Inpatient Rehab
Mobility safety, falls prevention, skin integrity and care transitions.
Skilled Nursing
Falls, skin, infection prevention and transitions.
Long-Term Care

Home Health

Ambulatory workflows, patient teaching and reference lookups.
Choosing a setting changes what you see first. It does not certify your facility protocols, which always come first.
Safety first
Payment never unlocks a clinical tool.
Every tool and topic passes four release gates before it reaches you. Higher-risk tools like drug dosage and IV drip rates stay locked until each gate is cleared, even for Pro members.

FAQ
Questions nurses ask.
What is NurseTools?
NurseTools is an iPhone app for U.S. nurses. It brings together nursing calculators that show every formula and unit, a personal shift companion that never stores patient information, and three-minute practice cases with rationales, organized by care setting from med-surg and ICU to inpatient rehab, skilled nursing and home health.
When will NurseTools be available?
NurseTools is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone. There is no public release date yet. This page will be updated when it launches.
Is NurseTools free?
Yes. The core app is free, including the launch calculators, the shift companion and sample practice cases. An optional Pro subscription adds the full case library, specialty toolkits and reviewed clinical updates. The price is shown in the app before you subscribe.
Do I need to enter patient information?
No, and you should not. NurseTools is for your own preparation, not for patient records. It never asks for names, record numbers, room numbers, birth dates or diagnoses, and the checklist blocks entries that look like patient information.
Do I need an account?
No. The free app works without signing up. Your checklists and preferences stay on your iPhone.
Does NurseTools work offline?
Yes. The calculators, your shift checklist and downloaded learning content are built to work without a connection, which matters on units with poor signal.
Which care settings does NurseTools cover?
Med-surg, ICU, emergency, pediatrics, maternal and newborn, inpatient rehab, skilled nursing, long-term care, home health, and outpatient clinics. You pick your setting and the app puts the most relevant tools and topics first. You can change it any time.
Are the calculators clinically validated?
Each tool shows its version, sources and review status. At launch only simple arithmetic tools such as BMI and MAP are available. Tools such as drug dosage, IV drip rates and the Glasgow Coma Scale stay locked until they pass clinical review, independent testing and App Store review. A Pro subscription never unlocks a tool that has not passed review.
Does NurseTools replace my facility policies?
No. NurseTools offers general education. Your facility policies, provider orders and your state scope of practice always come first.
Is NurseTools a medical device?
No. NurseTools is an educational and personal organization app. It does not diagnose, recommend treatment or calculate medication doses for patient care.
Support every shift.
