Nursing scenarios

Our nursing scenarios (over 100) include patients experiencing a wide variety of acute and chronic health problems, in both in-patient and out-patient settings. Available are scenarios covering basic clinical nursing concepts as well as adult health, maternity, pediatric, psychiatric-mental health, critical care, and perioperative (OR and PACU) nursing content.

Presented within a nursing process context, scenarios are case study presentations within which instruction is provided and nursing knowledge and decision-making skills are challenged. Extensive graphic images and photos throughout illustrate and augment content.

A unique blending of instruction with testing, scenarios feature a variety of question types, with immediate instructive feedback given for incorrect, as well as correct, responses. Hints are available for most questions. All scenarios are scored, and diagnostic information may be viewed and printed at any time.

Drill and Practice titles

Our drill and practice titles provide the repetitive practice opportunity often needed to master skills and content. Because a testing component is integral to these titles, they can also be used to test competencies.

The popular drug calculation skills title, Nurse ProCalc, generates thousands of clinically-accurate questions for practice, remediation, and testing (printed or computer administration). Questions can be fine-tuned to a variety of clinical areas and dosage categories. Nurse ProCalc can make orientation, cross-training, competency assessment and remediation more efficient and productive!

Our "Mania" titles provide a fun way to learn/review/test med-surg, pediatric, maternity, and psych-mental health content, and can be especially useful for cross-training and certification prep. Fundamentally Fun Graphics provides practice/testing opportunity for basic nursing skills. Recognizing Common Dysrhythmias helps develop or improve skills in cardiac rhythm recognition and includes both practice and testing.
