Created by an ICU nurseA note from Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah, an ICU nurse with a thing for good design and a low tolerance for explanations that make a hard concept harder. So I’m making the guides I wish I had: sharp, memorable, and worth opening again.
You can highlight half a textbook and still have no idea what you just read. Been there. q12 is where we get into the why, connect the dots, and give your brain something better to hold onto than a wall of text.
The name nods to the 12-hour shift. The ambition? A little less blank staring at your notes. A lot more “oh, that makes sense.” Bring your questions. We’ll make room in the margins.
- 01
Understand it.
Because “just memorize it” is a deeply unsatisfying answer. Get into the mechanism. Make the connection.
- 02
Remember it.
A good mnemonic earns its place. A little wit, a useful visual, and a reason it sticks.
- 03
Keep learning.
For students, nurses, and curious medical minds. Asking why is always a good look.
Stay curious. Have standards.
