• LEARN—Personalized Learning

Personalized Learning assignments help students make the connections to must-know content. Pre-assessments evaluate students on their comprehension of key topics from the text. Then they are guided through animated mini-lecture videos and interactive activities to reinforce learning and practice applying their knowledge.

• APPLY—Clinical Judgment

Clinical Judgment assignments challenge students to think critically and make informed decisions to achieve the best patient outcomes. Each case study presents real-life, complex clinical situations that mimic the new Next Gen NCLEX® format and align with the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, building the clinical judgment skills needed to be practice-ready nurses and to prepare for the Next Gen NCLEX® with confidence.

• ASSESS—Quizzing

Quizzing assignments use NCLEX®-style questions for assessment and remediation. Questions cover the same topics and concepts as the textbook, providing the additional practice students need to test their knowledge, master course content, and perform well on course and board exams. PLUS! Brand-new, stand-alone bowtie and trend questions provide students with even more practice answering these new, individual item types.
