Elsevier’s Clinical Practice Readiness Assessment provides a consistent, reliable, online method to assess nursing students’ practice readiness. Through high-fidelity, screen-based simulations, including questions in the style of the Next Generation NCLEX® and outcome alignment with AACN Essentials competencies, instructors can understand whether students have the knowledge and skills needed to succeed as a new nurse in clinical practice. Instructors who struggle with assessment of clinical preparedness will now have a standardized, reliable tool with which to measure their students. The standardization of the simulation experience ensures a consistent measure of practice readiness and means of identifying trends among students.
Screen-based, high-fidelity simulations offer a realistic, immersive environment through which students can demonstrate practice readiness by providing care to virtual patients.
Digital Standardized Patients™ vary in age, race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, and sexual orientation and have a wide range of health concerns. Their health histories and current concerns are designed to support students’ demonstration of nursing competency in a wide spectrum of medical conditions.
Natural language Conversation Engine allows students to engage with simulated patients using their own words to gather subjective data and provide therapeutic communication.
Standardized, reliable evaluation provides a consistent method to assess nursing students’ practice readiness, as well as reliable insights that enable you to identify student strengths and weaknesses, trends across your students, and possible curriculum gaps.
Questions in the style of Next Generation NCLEX®gauge students’ ability to make key clinical judgments regarding patient care.
Alignment with AACN Essentials competency framework provides proof of demonstrated student outcomes in a range of patient contexts.
Secure browser delivery ensures ongoing updates and enhanced security via the same technology used by NCSBN to deliver the NCLEX.
