Summary

Build Clinical Confidence!

51 structured case studies simulate the wide range of patient care challenges you’ll encounter in practice. These scenarios help you develop the critical assessment, clinical reasoning, and nursing skills you need to deliver safe and competent care to your patients—in a controlled, risk-free environment.

Each realistic, patient-care simulation focuses on a defined clinical domain, critical knowledge and skills, levels of competency, evidenced-based practice guidelines, National Patient Safety Goals, and research-based design characteristics. You can record your reflections at the end of each simulation to enhance self-awareness and develop insights into the patient care delivery process.
