Why quotes and not summaries

A summary is somebody retelling the book, and a retelling can be wrong in a way you will not notice until the exam. So nothing clinical on these pages is written by us. Every key point is a sentence from an open nursing textbook, copied exactly, and a machine checks each one against the book before the page goes up. What we add is the heading over each quote, the order, and the practice questions.

The textbooks are OpenStax's open nursing series, written by nursing faculty and free to read. Each page names its section and links to it.

Want a whole timed exam instead? Practice questions has longer sets, including one laid out like the Med-Surg certification exam.
