• LEARN—Personalized Learning

  Personalized Learning immerses students in an online learning experience tailored to their needs. Students are assessed on their comprehension of key topics from the text, and then are guided through animated mini-lecture videos and dynamic activities to reinforce learning and apply their knowledge. 

• APPLY—Clinical Judgment

  Clinical Judgment challenges students to think critically and make informed decisions to achieve the best patient outcomes. Real-world case studies mirror the complexities they will encounter in a variety of settings, helping them to build the skills they need to be practice-ready nurses and prepare for the NCLEX®.

• ASSESS—Quizzing

  Quizzing uses NCLEX®-style questions to provide the additional practice students need to test their knowledge, master must-know content, and perform well on course and board exams.

• SIMULATE—Simulations

  Simulations give students a safe, supportive environment to develop clinical judgment while earning clinical hours. These immersive, video-based experiences reinforce core content, promote proper skill technique, and strengthen clinical decision-making skills. As students progress, a dynamic EHR evolves based on their choices, demonstrating how their actions directly impact patient outcomes and preparing them for real-world practice.
