Scrubbed and Studied- Clinical brain meets classroom chaos. Let’s pass this test.

Hi! I’m a senior nursing student at a top 10 BSN program. I’ve done clinicals in OB, L&D, med-surg, psych, and community health. All my notes are super condensed, clear, and based on what professors actually test—no fluff, just high-yield content. Whether you’re studying for your exams, prepping for clinicals, or grinding for the NCLEX, I’ve got you covered. These are the notes I wish I had when I started. You’ve got this (and I’ve got the receipts).
