Fichea

IFSI, nursing studies

At IFSI, review your semester UEs without losing track of your placements.

Between lectures, tutorials and placement periods, study time gets fragmented fast. Start from your institute’s materials: teaching unit courses, slides, assessment instructions and corrected exercises. Fichea can help you structure a chapter, test yourself with corrected quizzes and review vocabulary or drug families with flashcards.

How to organize this work

Start again from your cohort’s curriculum framework

Nursing training lasts six semesters and leads to 180 European credits. A decree of 20 February 2026 governs the training of students who started from September 2026; those who started earlier remain under the 2009 text. The list of UEs and the validation rules therefore depend on your cohort: take them from your IFSI’s documents.

Pharmacology: short, verified cards

For each drug family you study, keep what your course asks you to remember: mechanism, expected effects, side effects, monitoring. A card covers a single piece of information, and each answer is checked against the UE materials before being learned. If a card and the course disagree, the course is the reference.

Dose calculations: redo them, then compare with the correction

Practice on the exercises provided by your institute, writing the units at every step. A generated question may contain a calculation or unit error: always redo the calculation yourself and check the method against your IFSI’s materials and corrections. These exercises are for studying, never for preparing real care.

Going back over a UE during a lecture week

  1. Choose a chapter of the UE and write down what the assessment asks for.
  2. Answer a quiz without notes, then read the explanation for each answer.
  3. Turn your mistakes into flashcards and check their content against the course.
  4. Redo three dose calculations taken from your IFSI’s exercises and compare with the correction.

During placements, keep a few minutes of flashcards a day; long sessions wait for the lecture weeks.

A flow rate calculation to redo yourself

An exercise from your IFSI asks for the flow rate of a 500 mL infusion to be given over 4 hours, in mL/h. What do you do with the answer suggested by a quiz?

Read the explanation

Redo the calculation: 500 mL ÷ 4 h = 125 mL/h. Then compare your result and your method with your IFSI’s correction. A generated answer is never copied without checking, and this practice replaces neither a protocol nor a check in a care situation.

A study tool, not a clinical tool

Fichea gives no medical advice, validates no prescription and replaces neither the protocols of your placement site nor the supervision of your instructors. Calculations are checked against your IFSI’s materials and corrections. Do not import any data about patients you meet on placement. Features and volumes depend on your plan.

Tools to keep going

Questions about this path

Does Fichea know my IFSI’s curriculum?

No. Sheets, quizzes and flashcards start from the courses you import. Since the curriculum framework changed for students who started from September 2026, check the list of UEs and the assessment rules in your institute’s documents.

Can I review dose calculations with generated quizzes?

You can practice on questions drawn from your courses, but every result must be recalculated and compared with your IFSI’s corrections. A generated question may contain an error. Fichea is not a clinical calculation tool and is not meant for preparing care.

How do I study during placement periods?

Keep sessions short: the flashcards due under spaced repetition, then one concept reviewed after your day. Fichea’s planner shows flashcard reviews for the next 14 days. Do not write down any information that could identify a patient.

Can I import my courses as photos?

You can import a PDF, paste text or add a Word file, of which only the text is used. JPG or PNG photos are accepted depending on the plan; check the recognized text before creating the sheet.

Choose a first material

Start with content you can check. Imported documents remain your starting point; AI answers can contain errors. The plans and their limits, the terms of use and the privacy policy are available to read before you create an account.
