LMS for nurse onboarding and training
EducateMe is the AI-native LMS for nurses, from their first shift on. AI turns your protocols into courses and lets nurses practice patient conversations. Each unit gets its own plan.
Why new nurse onboarding takes so long
Shadowing, binders, and a preceptor who is also caring for patients.
Turn your protocols into nurse training, then let nurses practice
Nurses train on their phone, on any shift
Training opens in the phone's web browser, with nothing to install. A nurse on nights finishes the same plan as a nurse on days. Tag her with her unit, and her plan is waiting. Courses that repeat each year restart on their due date.
Know which new nurses are ready without asking. Customers report 1.8× faster onboarding.

Is EducateMe the right LMS for your nurses?
EducateMe fits nursing teams that onboard from their own protocols and want new nurses ready sooner. It is not the right LMS if nurses must earn continuing education credits inside it. The two lists below give the detail.
A good fit
- Clinics, practices, and small hospitals hiring nurses every month
- Nurse educators who want onboarding to run without them in the room
- Teams with nurses on nights, weekends, or several sites
Not the right fit
- Nurses must earn continuing education credits inside the LMS
- You want a ready-made nurse residency curriculum
- You need license checks or credentialing
Pricing starts from $239 a month. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial. See what each plan includes on the pricing page.
See pricingWhat does nurse onboarding cover in the first weeks?
New nurse onboarding moves from policies to skills to patients. Each step opens when the one before is done. An educator signs off each skills check, so you know who is ready for a full assignment.
| When | What new nurses learn | Skills check | Practice before patients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before day one | Your policies, HIPAA, how to log in | A short quiz | None yet |
| Week 1 | Unit routines, charting, medication safety | Med pass, signed off by an educator | Patient intake, an anxious patient |
| Week 2 | Unit equipment, infection control, fall prevention | Vitals and IV skills, signed off | A family asking about a care plan |
| Weeks 3 to 4 | Full patient load with a preceptor | Preceptor review as an assignment | Discharge teaching |
| Every year | Required courses that repeat on schedule | Unit skills day | New scenarios as policies change |
