Build clinical confidence!
Help your students develop the critical assessment, clinical reasoning, and nursing care skills they need to deliver and practice safe and effective patient care. 51 structured simulation scenarios, designed to be used in conjunction with the Instructor Volume, let them apply the nursing process 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.

Students can record their reflections at the end of each simulation to enhance self-awareness and develop insights into the patient care delivery process.
