Clinical Log, aka nTrack

Students need to be well prepared for the real clinical environment. Paper clinical logs can get lost, and they offer no aggregate reporting.

Developed in collaboration with pre-licensure and graduate nursing programs, nTrack lets students track their clinical experience and patient encounters, including time spent with each patient and at each clinical site. The nTrack app is part of the nTrack Clinical Log system, which can be customized and deployed at your institution.
