What Students are Saying

I have not worked as a nurse for many years. I was nervous and wondered would I still have the knowledge and the critical thinking skills needed to care for patients. Having the option of learning and practicing skills in a virtual setting was very appealing. It allayed those worries because I was able to learn and practice in a low stress and safe environment. I came away with the confidence that I could identify the problems of my patients, and properly see to their care.

RN Refresher Student

I was surprised at how much my critical thinking improved throughout the simulation cases. I highly recommend this course! I believe my ability to provide quality nursing care has been upgraded. I appreciate this option for the RN Refresher course.
