I won’t tag anyone, but if you want to fill it out, I’d love to see your answers!

While trying to keep abreast of stuff this summer, I found a great website that is really helping me study. Flashcarddb is a website that allows you to create flashcards online, and you can even share with other people (or choose to make your cards private, too). One cool thing about the site is that it uses the Leitner System to help you study.

I haven’t been using the online flashcards for long, so I’m not sure how much spaced repetition will actually help me, but it seems like it should.

If you are interested, here is a link to the cards I have already created. I’m trying to remember to tag all the cards I create with ‘nursing’ to make them easier for other people to find. Let me know what you think!
