RN PocketPal

Drip calculators, brain sheets, rhythm review, lab and med reference — built by a bedside RN. New: educational rhythm-strip review with confidence and intervals.

RN PocketPal is the digital pocket reference built for bedside nurses by a nurse with 14 years on telemetry, step-down, ICU, and the ED. It replaces the half-dozen browser tabs, paper cheat sheets, and dog-eared report sheets nurses juggle every shift — and adds an educational rhythm-strip review that no other reference app offers.

WHAT'S INSIDE

— Customizable brain sheet, per shift type Tele, med-surg, ICU, ER, and L&D variants. Allergies, code status, isolation, active drips, recent labs with critical-range flags, and the freeform notes that actually get you through report. Long-press any row to edit. Save your own template.

— Drip and dose calculators Weight-based pediatric and adult dosing. Vasoactive titration tables. IV gtts/min. 4-2-1 maintenance fluids. Reverse-calculate to a target dose. Weight auto-fills from your brain sheet.

— Lab reference with critical-value flags Normal ranges with age and sex variants. Common panels grouped the way you actually read them.

— IV compatibility checker Y-site checker for the medications you actually run together.

— Rhythm Reader (educational decision-support) Point the camera at a rhythm strip or telemetry monitor. RN PocketPal identifies what the rhythm could be, with a confidence score, top alternates, and full interval measurements (PR, QRS, QT, QTc) so you can verify with calipers. Educational reference only — RN PocketPal does not make clinical decisions, treat, or replace clinical judgment.

— ACLS, BLS, PALS code cards Algorithm cards plus sepsis bundle, stroke, STEMI — fully offline.

— Med-pass timer Scheduled doses, PRN cooldown reminders, reassessment prompts.

— License and CEU tracker Renewal alerts by state Board of Nursing. BLS and ACLS expiration tracking. CE log.

— Reference library Medical jargon translator, ICD-10 lookup, pill imprint identification, abbreviations, normal ranges, audits, care plan builder, note writer.

BUILT WITH PRIVACY AS THE DEFAULT

— Names and room numbers, if you choose to enter them, stay on your device only. They are never sent to any server. — Rhythm Reader processes images on-device whenever your phone supports it. — Crash reports and analytics scrub free-text fields before anything leaves your phone, using an allowlist — not a denylist. — No third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.

THE LANGUAGE WE USE ON PURPOSE

RN PocketPal is educational decision-support, not a medical device. It does not make clinical decisions, treat, or replace your clinical judgment. Always verify findings independently. We use the words "identify (educational)" and "what this could be" deliberately — you are the nurse, you make the call.
