Clinical Nursing Skills: Practice for Mastery is a digital-first learning experience that teaches nursing skills while providing context for why and how those skills are performed. Pearson's skills lab combines active-learning with real-world applications, practice exercises, animated demos and other interactive features.

By prioritizing skill mastery over memorization, the lab facilitates better learning outcomes and prepares you to be a competent, floor-ready nurse. Skills are taught through a consistent sequence of learning objectives, procedural steps and lifespan considerations. You'll reflect on each skill, work through a case study and respond to a knowledge check.

You can even create and upload your own videos to demonstrate your skill performance, while building clinical judgment with the help of peer-to-peer review. And, with Next Gen NCLEX®-style questions incorporated into the lab, you can prepare for exam success as you go.
