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. These titles can be used to provide practice opportunity not available through classes or other learning resources.

The popular drug calculation skills title, Nurse ProCalc, generates thousands of clinically-accurate questions for practice, remediation, and testing (printed or computer administration). Nurse ProCalc makes test creation quick and easy for instructors! Optional purchase of the Nurse ProCalc Study Guide completes a total learning package for this hard-to-master content, making purchase of a calculations text unnecessary!

Our "Mania" titles provide a fun way to learn or review med-surg, pediatric, maternity, and psych-mental health content. Fundamentally Fun Graphics provides practice opportunity for basic nursing skills. Recognizing Common Dysrhythmias helps develop or improve skills in cardiac rhythm recognition.
