The Level Up RN Microbiology Flashcards were designed to help pre-nursing students, nursing students, pre-med students, and students preparing for healthcare or biology-related programs. They provide the key information you need to know to pass your class exams, the TEAS exam, and the HESI A2 Exam. Our flashcards will help you learn:

  • Foundations
  • Prokaryote & Eukaryote Cells
  • Microbial Metabolism, Growth and Genetics
  • Acellular Infectious Agents
  • Control of Microbial Growth
  • Disease, Immunity & Epidemiology
  • Microbes & Infections

Level Up RN flashcards contain just the core information you need to know, without all the fluff. We also incorporate memory tools and tricks to make learning fun and effective. This helps you:

  • Focus on the most important microbiology facts.
  • Save time and effort when studying.
  • Retain the information more effectively.
  • Study what's important for microbiology: not just specific microbes and diseases, but also the core concepts—microbiology history, cell components, microbial metabolism, microbial growth, and more.
