Head to Toe Assessment Study Guide Hyperlinked PDF | Nursing Fundamentals Skills Cheat Sheet | Clinical Checklist | NCLEX Review Printable

Walk into clinical knowing what to check, what normal looks like, and what to report.

This 36-page guide takes you through a full head-to-toe assessment in order, then gives you step-by-step skill cards for the fundamentals you'll be checked off on. I'm Anna, RN, BSN, PHN, a nurse educator and former nursing instructor. I've been helping nursing students pass their exams through NurseStudy.Net since 2012. I made this for first-semester students heading into their first clinical rotations, with plain language and a memory trick on almost every page.
