Real Nurses. Real People. Real Skills.

Expert nurses demonstrate exactly what students need to know to perform key skills.

Each skill is presented in two ways. Select the approach that works best for you. Or, mix-and-match to make sure that you understand every step.

• Movie Version—the perfect approach for visual learners!
  Watch each skill from beginning to end, without interruption.
• The Voice-Over Version—the best approach for auditory learners!
  Learn by viewing the same footage with narration that explains “what” the nurse is doing and “why.”
