Turn your ATI notes into an editable concept map
A generic printout can't match what your instructor covers. Upload your lecture slides, chapter PDF, or notes and get a mind map built from that material, with branches you can rearrange and explore.
Why build your own ATI concept map
A printed ATI study sheet helps until the template doesn't match the content you were assigned. Instead of a blank grid, DeckOwl reads your own chapter PDF or lecture slides and builds the branches from them, so your ATI concept map template reflects the material you will actually be tested on.
- Start with one central topic per map so branches stay focused.
- Use nursing actions and priorities as their own branch, not buried under facts.
- Check every branch against your lecture notes before you rely on it.
- Turn key branches into flashcards or quiz questions for spaced review.
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition, so handwritten-free printed notes work well.
Editable and explorable
Rename branches, add nodes, and expand or collapse sections to work through a topic at your own pace.
Study from the same map
Turn the branches into flashcards or quiz questions so the concept map feeds into review, not just a picture on the wall.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add the PDF, slides, or notes from the ATI topic you are studying.
Generate the mind map
DeckOwl organizes the content into a central topic with main branches and sub-points.
Edit and export
Adjust the branches to match your course. Exporting to PDF or DOCX is available on the Plus plan.
Each map starts from a central topic such as a disease process or medication class. Main branches can cover pathophysiology, assessment findings, nursing interventions, and teaching points. You can drag, rename, and reorganize nodes until the structure makes sense to you.
The free plan lets you generate three maps a month and study them in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export, so you can print a finished map for a study group.

Frequently asked questions
How do I organize a concept map for an ATI nursing topic?
Put the disease, drug, or condition in the center, then branch into pathophysiology, assessment findings, nursing interventions, and patient teaching. Keep each branch short enough to recall from memory.
What should a nursing concept map include?
Focus on causes, signs and symptoms, priority nursing actions, and safety warnings. Add lab values or medication cautions only when your course materials highlight them.
Can I print or export my concept map?
Viewing and studying maps in the browser is available on the free plan. PDF and DOCX export is included with Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. You can begin on the free plan without a credit card, which includes three generations per month. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
