Build clinical confidence, one skill at a time.
Clinical Compass is a calm, motivating checklist and log designed for nursing students tracking their required clinical skills — from Foley catheter insertion and IV starts to wound care, EKG placement, and trach care. Replace your clipboard and scratch paper with a simple tracker that celebrates every step toward readiness.
What it does
Editable skill list — Start with 14 common required skills (Foley catheter insertion, IV start, NG tube insertion, oral/IV/IM/subQ medication administration, wound care, blood draw, EKG placement, trach care, and more), then add or remove entries to match your program's exact requirements.
Target & count tracking — Set a required number of completions per skill (e.g., "3 required") and watch your running count climb with a single tap.
Quick completion logging — Log every attempt with a date and an optional note for clinical site, preceptor initials, or outcome.
Progress dashboard — See a progress bar for each skill plus an overall "clinical readiness" summary showing skills met vs. still needed.
"Still needed" view — Before a clinical day, filter to the skills you still have to complete and prioritize at a glance.
Print-ready submission log — Export or print a clean, instructor-friendly summary of your full log for clinical submissions.
Private by design — Everything is stored locally on your device; no account or sync required.
Who it's for
Nursing students in any program who need to document clinical skill competencies — perfect for keeping on your phone during rotations and printing a tidy record for your clinical instructor.
