## Setup & Voice (Prompts 1–15)

- **#1 Your permanent profile** — Paste into custom instructions: “I’m a [RN / LPN] with [N] years of experience, working [UNIT/SETTING — no facility names]. I use you for practice scenarios, study help, templates, and career writing — never for real patient information. Every patient case we discuss is fictional. Never ask me for details about real patients; if anything I write could identify a real person, stop and warn me before answering. Nothing you write is ever a source for drug doses, protocols, or clinical decisions — remind me to verify against approved references when those come up. My style: plain, professional, brief, no exclamation points.”

## Report, Brain Sheets & Charting Skills (Prompts 16–40)

- **#16 The SBAR practice engine** — “Create one fictional [MED-SURG / ICU / ED / PEDS] patient for handoff practice — realistic but invented: history, current situation, one thing subtly worth flagging. Present it as messy raw information, the way a shift leaves it. I’ll give my SBAR report by voice.

Sixth-grade reading level, short sections with headers, what-to-do before why-it-works, one WHEN TO CALL FOR HELP section. No drug names or doses.

## Career & Money (Prompts 66–85)

- **#66 The resume translator** — “Here’s my current resume and a voice-ramble of what my job actually involves: [PASTE + RAMBLE — unit type, ratios, acuity, committees, precepting, charge, projects]. Rewrite my experience section so each bullet leads with an outcome or scope instead of a duty. Use a [NUMBER] placeholder anywhere a real number would strengthen a bullet, and DO NOT invent any number, certification, title, or outcome I didn’t state. One page.

Build: my opening, the factual case (my differentials-relevant value: nights, weekends, certs, float flexibility), the specific ask, and my response if the answer is no (timeline to revisit, what would change the answer).

Turn it into study notes: core sequence as a numbered list, hard numbers and time-limits in a table, the 5 points most likely to be tested or audited, 3 self-quiz questions. Do not add steps or numbers that aren’t in the document — flag anything that seems missing as a question instead of filling the gap.”

Acuity in categories only: [e.g., 3 high-acuity, 2 heavy-care, 2 likely discharges, 1 expected admit]. Constraints: [continuity, yesterday’s loads, new-grad limits].

- **#121 The certification roadmap** — “I’m a [ROLE, EXPERIENCE, UNIT] and I want to get from here to [CERTIFICATION / ROLE]. Build the roadmap: typical eligibility requirements (practice hours, experience type) marked VERIFY — I’ll confirm every requirement on the certifying body’s own website before spending money; realistic study timeline around full-time shifts; costs as [BLANKS] for me to look up; and the first three actions, each small enough for a single day off.
