Your first shift on Synapse

What this covers

Getting from a fresh install to your first patient on the deck, so the app feels familiar by the time you take report.

How to open it

Install Synapse from the App Store or Play Store and open it, or go to app.nursebrain.com in a browser. Every new account starts with a 7-day trial.

Steps

1. Sign in with email, Apple, or Google.
2. Finish the quick setup. A short chat asks a few questions to set the app up for you.
3. Start your shift from the Welcome screen.
4. Add your first patient. Double-tap the Patients chip and describe the patient, for example “Bed 4, 72-year-old male, chest pain admit, troponin pending, allergic to penicillin.”
5. Save, and start organizing your work from the dashboard.

Good to know

Use demo details like “Bed 4, chest pain admit” while you are learning. Synapse is your brain sheet, not your chart, so charting still happens in your EHR. Pricing and the student rate are at nursebrain.com/plans.
