The obstacle here is accumulation rather than difficulty: pharmacology from October, fundamentals from September, and an exam that assumes all of it is still available.
WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Turn your nursing notes into cards
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

Text rules, not AI. Lines with a colon become two sided cards; other lines lose their longest word. Nothing you paste leaves the browser. Copy gives tab separated rows for Anki.
Modules end, but the exam does not respect that
A module finishes, the assessment passes, and the material stops being touched. Two months later it is examined again alongside everything since. This is the single most predictable failure in nursing programmes and the most avoidable, because the fix is scheduling rather than effort. Cards built from a module at the time it finishes, revisited briefly across the following weeks, cost a fraction of relearning it later.
Drug tables convert better than almost anything
Pharmacology notes are unusually well suited to this: a drug class, its mechanism, its main adverse effects, the nursing consideration. That structure is already a card. Written one item per line with a colon, a whole table converts through the box at the top in seconds, and unlike a printed drug guide it is your own list, limited to what your programme actually covers.
Rationales are the part worth keeping
Nursing questions are usually decided by the rationale rather than the fact, and the rationale is what students write in the margin and never revisit. Photograph the annotated page and the app builds questions from it, so the reason you wrote in your own words comes back as a prompt. Roediger and Karpicke measured the general case in 2006: a week after study, the testing group retained clearly more than the rereading group while feeling less productive at the time.
What will not generate, and why that is correct
Rhythm strips, wound images, chart screenshots and anything else that has to be seen will not produce questions, because every generated question must be answerable from text alone. A tool that invented a question about an image it cannot display would be worse than one that skips it. The written parts of your material, which is most of it, convert normally.
Where the exam itself is described
Elsevier publishes what HESI covers and how it is used within programmes, and it changes. This page carries none of those details on purpose. The sources below link to the publisher's own pages, which is one click and considerably more reliable than a paraphrase.
Fitting it around clinicals
The tab at the top of this page suits the gaps in a clinical week: paste, read, close, nothing stored, no account, no limit, no request leaving the device. When a full module handout needs reading, that is the app, at wesolveapp.com or in the App Store for iPhone and iPad, free to begin, allowing two quizzes and two uploads a day, two recaps a week, two duels a day, and any number of cards from one file. Android is the site. Tiers on pricing.

| Nursing material | In this tab | In the app |
|---|---|---|
| Drug table typed out | Two sided cards instantly | Cards plus an explained quiz |
| Annotated rationale page | Cannot read a photo | Questions from your own reasoning |
| Module handout PDF | Cannot read a PDF | Questions across the whole module |
| Rhythm strip or wound image | No | No, questions must be text answerable |
| October module in January | None, you export | A scheduled return |
Can it build questions from my drug tables?
Yes, and they convert unusually well: a line written as drug class then mechanism becomes a two sided card immediately.
What about images from clinical?
They do not generate questions. Every item must be answerable from text alone, so an image the tool cannot show you is skipped rather than faked.
How do I keep an old module from disappearing?
Build cards when the module ends rather than when the exam approaches, then let short returns keep it alive. Relearning later costs far more than maintaining.
Where is the exam described?
On Elsevier's own pages, linked in the sources below. This page does not paraphrase them.
Is anything I paste at the top stored?
No. That box makes no network request at all; closing the tab ends it.
