Demonstration: Sturse answers and grades a select-all-that-apply question automatically, then explains every answer choice. The full question, answers, and rationales are readable below. The demonstration pauses while the card is focused, hovered, or tapped.

Select all that apply

A client with heart failure is started on furosemide. Which findings require the nurse to follow up? Select all that apply.

Serum potassium 2.9 mEq/L

Follow up. Loop diuretics waste potassium — 2.9 is critically low, and dysrhythmias follow.

Urine output of 80 mL/hr

Expected. Brisk urine output is the point of a loop diuretic — the medication working.

Reports of leg cramps

Follow up. Muscle cramps are a classic symptom of hypokalemia — same story as that 2.9.

Weight down 0.5 kg since yesterday

Expected. Gradual weight loss is fluid coming off — what you want in heart failure.

An irregular apical pulse

Follow up. With potassium this low, an irregular rhythm may be a dysrhythmia in progress.

This is a real Sturse question. Yours come from your own lecture slides.

How it works

Lecture in. Exam out.

Upload your lecture

Slides or notes, up to 50 MB. Sturse reads the text inside images, charts, and diagrams too — image-heavy decks still work.

No hand-waving

Every answer comes with receipts.

You just watched it happen in the demo — that’s the standard for every question, every time.

Not sure why that’s the answer? One tap opens the exact slide it came from.

A rationale for every choice

Not just “B is correct.” Each option gets its own explanation citing your document, plus the nursing concept behind the question and a test-taking tip.

Why: loop diuretics waste potassium — 2.9 is critically low. From your slide 41.

Built only from your slides

Questions come from the material you upload, not a recycled question bank — if it’s not in your lecture, it’s not on your quiz.

0 outside question banks behind your quiz. Every question comes from your own lecture.

your slides → your quiz. that’s the whole pipeline.

Ask your notes anything

Stuck on a concept? Ask the built-in tutor about your lecture. Answers stay grounded in your professor’s version of the material.

A study guide written for nurses

Every upload also becomes a structured guide — organized the way nursing school tests, not a generic summary.

“Currently in pathophysiology and the tests were very similar to my school’s exams, so once I saw that I was like okay imma use this app from now on.”“Imma be deadass honest, it’s very easy now using sturse lol. It genuinely does organize everything and narrow it all down extremely well.”
— Allen · Pathophysiology
“What clicked and fascinated me the most was the whole set up of practice questions. It made me gather more analysis which fosters my critical thinking capabilities.”“I told my fellow nursing classmates about it and guess what?! They totally love it.”
— Aira · BSN, Class of 2028
“I’m a diehard notebook lm user and sometimes you get the same questions over and over again. Also being able to get select all that apply questions are pretty cool. Those are really common on my exams.”
— Karina · First semester
“I’ve been using Notebook LM and love it, but when I found Sturse I see that it combines all nursing applications which I appreciate very much.”

Fair questions

Before you ask.

What can I upload?

Lecture slides or notes in almost any format — PDF, PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx, .ppsx), Word (.doc, .docx), Keynote, Pages, .rtf, .odt, .odp, plain text, or a photo of your notes (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP) — up to 50 MB per file. Everything is converted and read automatically.

My slides are mostly pictures and diagrams. Will it work?

Yes. Sturse runs a vision pass on every document and reads the text inside images, screenshots, charts, and diagrams — so image-heavy lectures still turn into full quizzes.

Are the questions actually like my exams?

Sturse generates the two formats nursing exams lean on: multiple choice and select-all-that-apply, in NCLEX style. Every question is built strictly from your uploaded lecture, and every answer choice gets its own rationale.

How do I know the AI didn’t make something up?

Every question comes from your own lecture, not a question bank, and each explanation points back to the part of your material it came from, so you can check it against the slide in front of you. And if a question is ever off, flag it: it’s pulled from your quiz and never comes back.

Do questions repeat if I quiz the same lecture again?

Not for a long while. Each lecture gets 100 fresh questions before anything repeats, and questions you haven’t answered always come first.

How is this different from ChatGPT or NotebookLM?

Those are general AI tools; Sturse is an AI study tool built only for nursing school. It writes the two question formats nursing exams use — multiple choice and select-all-that-apply — with a rationale for every answer choice, keeps 100 questions per lecture before anything repeats, and builds the study guide, flashcards and tutor from the same upload.
