# Study multiple nursing notes together > One course topic can appear in a lecture outline, a reading note, and a feedback note. Reading each file alone can hide gaps or repeated ideas. This guide gives you a simple way to choose related notes, compare what each source says, and decide between reading, saved-card review, and a new study set. Keep clinical details tied to your approved course sources. - Canonical page: https://www.feynmannurse.app/tools/study-multiple-nursing-notes-together - Source type: Several course notes - Study outcome: One connected study session - Published: 2026-09-14 ## What this workflow gives you ### Keep each source visible Pick notes for one course objective. In the combined reading view, each original note stays in its own section, so you can trace an idea back to its source. ### Choose the right review action Use existing-card review when your notes already have useful cards. Choose new generation only when a shared study set would test relationships across the selected notes. ### Check before repeated study A generated card or question can repeat an error from a source. Compare its wording and answer with your permitted material before you rely on it. ## A clear method for studying several nursing notes 1. **Set one review boundary:** Write one course objective at the top of your study plan. Choose only notes that help answer it. Leave unrelated topics for another session. 2. **Select notes in Library:** In the web app, choose Study multiple notes. Select the notes you want, then use Study selected notes to open their combined reading view. 3. **Compare before you test:** Read each source section. Write a short list of ideas that repeat, ideas that differ, and questions that need a check in your course material. 4. **Choose saved or new practice:** Review existing cards together if they already test the objective. For new cards, choose 20, 40, or 60, or create a quiz. Check every generated item. ## Example: a fictional course review **Input:** A fictional course unit has three notes: a lecture outline, a glossary from an assigned reading, and instructor feedback on a class exercise. They contain no patient information. **Possible output:** - A three-column check: idea, source note, and question to resolve - A short list of repeated terms with their exact course wording - A decision to review saved cards first, then create new prompts only for gaps between the notes ## How to get a better result ### Do not mistake reading for merging Read selected notes together to compare them. New flashcards or a quiz create a private study note from the selection; your original notes remain unchanged. ### Know the access limit A new combined set needs permission to create a note. Existing-card review reads cards from the original notes without creating a new set. ### Keep private material out Use permitted course sources and fictional examples. Do not upload patient information or private clinical documents. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I read several nursing notes in one view? Yes. In the released web app, select Study multiple notes in Library, choose your notes, and select Study selected notes. The reading view keeps the original sections visible. ### Does existing-card review create or merge cards? No. Study existing flashcards together reviews saved cards from the selected original notes. It does not copy or merge those cards. ### What do 20, 40, and 60 mean? They are choices for the number of new combined flashcards. They do not set a quiz question count. The screenshot shows 40 selected, not 40 cards already made. ### Will a new combined study set change my original notes? No. The released web flow creates a separate private study note for new flashcards or a quiz. Note creation has account limits. ### Can I use this for patient decisions? No. This guide supports course study only. Check generated clinical details against approved sources and follow clinical policies for patient care. ## Related workflows - [Nursing Notes to Flashcards: A Safer Study Workflow](https://www.feynmannurse.app/tools/nursing-notes-to-flashcards.md) - [Create Nursing Practice Questions From Your Notes](https://www.feynmannurse.app/tools/nursing-notes-to-practice-quiz.md) - [How to Study Pathophysiology in Nursing School](https://www.feynmannurse.app/tools/pathophysiology-study-workflow.md) ## Use Feynman Nurse Start this workflow in the [Feynman Nurse web app](https://learn.feynmannurse.app), or install Feynman Nurse for [iPhone and iPad](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/feynman-nurse-ai/id6757008553) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.feynmannurse.ai&pcampaignid=web_share).
