My process of creating a Quizlet set is as follows. First, I read the content and take notes. Second, I dive deeper on any topics I don't feel I understand well. Third, I chunk out my notes into bite-sized items. Fourth, I summarize each of those items; this is what the final card looks like.
Producing Quizlets has been tremendously helpful for me while learning any topic. It's another exposure to topics and gives me the chance to come back for quick refreshers over and over. Additionally, it gives me a fabulous way to quiz my friends and fellow students which just cements the ideas for us.
Disclaimer: While I do my best to make my Quizlets factually correct, I cannot guarantee accuracy. I highly recommend comparing the content of my Quizlets to the content provided by your professors to ensure the information is accurate. If you notice any inaccuracies, please send a feedback request. Additionally, I am in no way dictating what classes are required as prerequisites for nursing school, which are required in nursing school, or providing comprehensive content. Please check your program requirements.
Anatomy is a cornerstone course that must be completed with high marks in order to apply for nursing school. This course teaches the gross anatomy of human bodies between the microscopic and body systems scales.
A folder with all of my Anatomy sets can be found here.
Links to each set, for quick access directly from this page, will be added once I complete my Anatomy course.
Physiology is a cornerstone course that must be completed with high marks in order to apply for nursing school. This course teaches the chemical and homeostatic processes of the human body.
NOTE: I have not started the Physiology course yet, so not folder or sets have been created.

Anatomy and Physiology are cornerstone courses that must be completed with high marks in order to apply for nursing school. This folder contains both anatomy and physiology topics utilizing the A&P2E textbook provided for free by OpenStax. It includes the gross anatomy of human bodies between the microscopic and body systems scales and the chemical and homeostatic processes of the human body..
A folder with all of my A&P2E sets can be found here.
The A&P2E book combines both anatomy and physiology and can be found on OpenStax.

Chemistry courses are sometimes required for LPN/LVN programs and are always required for RN and BSN programs. I recommend taking this course before Physiology and before nursing school starts (for LPN/LVN as well). This course teaches fundamental chemistry principles, formulas, and related information.
A folder with all of my Chemistry Foundation sets can be found here.

Human Development is a cornerstone course that must be completed with high marks in order to apply for nursing school. This course teaches how the human body develops and changes from before conception all the way until after death.
An acceptable alternative to Human Development, as a prerequisite for many nursing programs, is Human Psychology. I took Psychology several years ago with my first Bachelor's Degree but no longer have access to any Quizlets I may have made.
NOTE: I have not started the Human Development course yet, so not folder or sets have been created.

Human Nutrition is an important topic that is taught in nursing school. This course is often not a prerequisite for LPN/LVN/RN programs but is still recommended. Taking this course will often provide the student with a strong foundation for nutrition related topics, may be worth "extra points" for their nursing school application, and some programs require the course. This course teaches the fundamentals of human nutrition, some nutrition related anatomy and physiology, and how different nutrients are important and affect the mind and body.
A folder with all of my Human Nutrition sets can be found here.

Medical Terminology is often a prerequisite for nursing school programs (sometimes it is built into the curriculum). Either way, I very highly recommend taking this course before absolutely anything else as it provides a very strong foundation for Anatomy, Physiology, Human Development, Human Nutrition, CNA, and BLS. In fact, I do not have a CNA folder because I simply blended what little new content arose for CNA into Medical Terminology, but there was virtually nothing new knowledge-wise. Is this required? Absolutely not. The majority of students take med-terms AFTER the rest of their nursing prerequisites, I just find it gives an edge for anyone who does take it first.
See Misc Medical Terms (Work Environment, CNA, PCT) for starting into healthcare.
See Misc Medical Terms (Continuing Education) for information that goes beyond fundamental medical terms but that I believe are critical knowledge-points for studying in preparation for pre-nursing and nursing schools.
A folder with all of my Medical Terminology sets can be found here.

Additional courses some nursing programs require as prerequisites include Elementary Microbiology (BIOL2060) and Nursing Pathophysiology (NURS2500) OR Pathophysiology (BIOL2520). Most also require English 1010 and 2010 and Stats 1040. My chosen program does not require BIOL2060, NURS2500, or BIOL2520 but I may take them during what would otherwise be a gap semester. I took Engl1010, 2010, and Stat1040 with my first degree several years ago.
I haven't started nursing school yet, so I have no content to offer toward it at this time.
Not all of my Quizlets are directly applicable to pre-nursing or nursing school, but they are always adjacent or applicable. For example, I took an ECG course one summer and produced sets for it.
A folder with all of my ECG/EKG sets can be found here.
Links to each set, for quick access directly from this page, will be added soon.
NOTE: I have not started the Venipuncture course yet, so not folder or sets have been created.
