ONLINE (DAVIS ADVANTAGE)

Using a unique and proven approach across a Learn-Apply-Assess-Simulate continuum, Davis Advantage’s Personalized Learning, Clinical Judgment, Quizzing, and Simulation assignments engage students; help them make the connections to key topics; and prepare for NCLEX® success.

• LEARN—Personalized Learning
  The foundation of the Davis Advantage platform, 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 bring concepts to life.
• APPLY—Clinical Judgment
  Clinical Judgment develops students’ critical thinking and clinical reasoning, helping them to build the clinical judgment skills they need to practice safe and effective nursing care and to prepare for the NCLEX® with confidence. Progressive case studies featuring real-life, complex clinical situations challenge students to apply knowledge, make informed decisions, and evaluate outcomes.
• ASSESS—Quizzing
  Quizzing uses NCLEX®-style questions for assessment and remediation. Its adaptive, question-based format provides the additional practice students need to test their knowledge, master course content, and perform well on course and board exams.
• SIMS—Simulate
  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.
