Nursing School Study Buddy is a nursing education podcast designed to help nursing students master essential content and pass the NCLEX exam with confidence. Each episode breaks down high-yield topics from pharmacology and medication administration to pathophysiology, microbiology, and med-surg nursing in clear, easy-to-follow explanations. Created by CherylTheNurse, a nursing student who teaches the material as she learns it, the show translates dense textbook content into practical, exam-ready knowledge, covering everything from heparin and insulin dosing to infection control, EKG interpretation, and test-taking strategies. Whether you're prepping for a unit exam, reviewing for finals, or gearing up for NCLEX day, Nursing Study Buddy is like studying with a friend who makes the hard stuff stick!
