Nursing vocab on your lock screen.
NurseLingo turns the 100+ times a day you glance at your phone into NCLEX review. 400+ terms across 14 decks — no app to open, no flashcards to remember to study.
● Free download · iPhone · iOS 16+
Studying that happens to you.
You already check your phone constantly. NurseLingo puts a rotating vocab card where your eyes already go.
Add the widget
Long-press your lock screen, tap Customize, and drop NurseLingo into the widget slot. Takes 20 seconds.
Glance & learn
A new term appears in rotation all day — definition included. No opening the app, no streaks to lose.
Go deeper when you want
Open the app for the full 14 decks, flip through cards by course, and build a custom "My Terms" deck.
Built for how nursing students actually study.
Every term, the way your professor tests it.
Each card pairs the term with its category and a plain-English definition — SBAR, PERRLA, Cushing's triad, pharm suffixes. Content is organized by course, so Fundamentals week and Med-Surg week each have their own deck.
Toggle decks to match this week's exam.
OB rotation? Turn on OB & Peds and mute the rest. The lock-screen rotation only pulls from decks you've switched on, so what you see always matches what you're being tested on.
Your weak spots, in the rotation.
Add the terms you keep missing to a custom "My Terms" deck and they join the lock-screen rotation. The stuff you'd write on your hand before clinical, now where you'll actually see it.
Zero-effort repetition.
Spaced by default
Terms rotate all day, every day — repetition happens without scheduling a study block.
No app to open
The lock screen is the one screen you can't avoid. Your vocab lives there.

Questions, answered.
Is NurseLingo free?
NurseLingo is free to download with all 14 decks included at launch. A premium subscription with expanded content is planned for a future update.
Does the lock-screen widget work on my iPhone?
Lock-screen widgets require iOS 16 or later — that covers iPhone 8 and newer. Add it by long-pressing your lock screen, tapping Customize, and selecting NurseLingo in the widget area under the clock.
Who writes the content?
All 400+ terms are written and reviewed by a licensed RN who passed the NCLEX. Decks are organized by nursing course: Health Assessment, Med-Surg, OB & Peds, Mental Health, Pharmacology, NCLEX Lab Values, and more.
Is this enough to pass the NCLEX on its own?
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. NurseLingo builds the vocabulary and lab-value recall layer that question banks assume you already have. Pair it with a question bank and your program's coursework.
How is this different from flashcard apps?
Flashcard apps require you to open them. NurseLingo's rotation happens on your lock screen, so review occurs during the 100+ glances at your phone you already do every day — no session to start, no streak to maintain.
Will there be an Android version?
NurseLingo is launching on iPhone first. Android is on the roadmap — email us via the support page and we'll notify you.
Put nursing school on your lock screen.
NurseLingo is free on the App Store — 400+ RN-written terms, 14 decks, and a widget that studies with you all day.
