Printable concept maps built from your own nursing material

Nursing school reading piles up fast, so a set of printable concept maps for nursing school built from your own lecture slides saves time better than a generic handout. A map that links pathophysiology, signs, labs, and interventions in one place is easier to review the night before an exam than pages of notes.

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes, or photos of pages for a map based on your course content.
Edit branches and sub-points so the map matches your instructor's terms and clinical focus.
Export as PDF on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month to print for class or group study.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a lecture deck, a chapter PDF, or typed notes on the topic, such as a body system or disease process.

Generate the map

DeckOwl turns the material into a mind map with main branches and sub-points you can review and edit.

Print or study online

Export a PDF to print on Plus, or study the map in your browser on the free plan.

You can upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text, or photos of textbook pages and handwritten notes. The result is an editable mind map that follows your instructor's terms and sequence, so you are not memorizing a stranger's diagram.

Keep each branch to one idea and check that the sub-points match your course materials before you print. On the free plan you can study maps in the browser, and Plus adds PDF export for paper copies.

Frequently asked questions

Can I print a concept map from DeckOwl?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export your mind map as a PDF and print it. The free plan lets you explore and study maps in the browser but does not include exports.

How do I make a concept map for nursing school from my notes?

Start with one disease process or body system, then list its core concepts in the center. Link causes, signs, labs, and interventions as separate branches, keeping each branch to a single idea so it is easy to review.

How many branches should a nursing concept map have?

Most useful maps have five to seven main branches, each with two to four sub-points. Fewer branches can hide how ideas connect, and more makes a printed page hard to scan.

Can I use lecture slides or photos of handouts?

Yes, you can upload PPTX slides, DOCX files, PDFs, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition, so check the result against your original material before you study.
