Prepare your CNA students for the CNA skills exam and prepare your staff for real-world care with interactive, self-paced HHA and CNA skills scenarios.
hha & cna skills Practice for your students wITH CNA SIMULATIONS
Recognizing virtual clinical simulations as the future of clinical practice, our team built a library of self-paced, interactive, online simulations for certified nursing assistant and home health aide students as well as family caregivers. These learners make all clinical, critical thinking, and communication decisions while providing simulated care to older adult characters.
Practice clinical skills in risk-free, virtual settings.
Boost first-time pass rates with skills practice in simulation.
Engage learners and build confidence with CNA games.
Enhance critical thinking skills and clinical preparedness.
CNA charting & documentation in a simulated EHR.
Increase clinical comprehension: Mandarin & Spanish.
Learners and instructors need a tablet, laptop, or desktop & strong Wi-Fi.

PREPARE CNA STUDENTS FOR CLINICALS
CNA students enter authentic scenarios and take on the persona of a CNA student character interacting with older adult characters during simulated CNA clinicals. CNA students make real-time decisions during simulation, translating classroom-based theory into clinical competence. They simulate documentation in our EMR simulator.

KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED WITH CNA GAMES
CNA games to engage CNA students through interactive, engaging, online CNA simulations in realistic home and facility settings with convincing 3-D characters. Realism is a best practice from the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) and the NCSBN National Simulation Study.

Develop CNA Critical Thinking Skills
CNA students face unexpected challenges during realistic, simulated CNA scenarios. They make decisions about what to do, who to call, and what to say. The simulation doesn’t move forward until they take an action. This type of CNA training helps students make appropriate situational judgments while delivering high-quality simulated care.

Instill Compassion In Your CNA Students
Virtual clinical simulations are designed to help CNAs learn how to be responsive, building empathy and compassion for older adults. They learn how to care for and communicate with clients who are experiencing depression, dementia, embarrassment, loneliness, insecurity, and frustration.

Graduate Confident Certified Nurse Aides
Consistent with the literature on nursing simulation, 95% of students reported increased confidence and readiness for real-world caregiving responsibilities. Students deliver care to older adult characters as they play fun CNA games and grow their confidence and capacity to provide high-quality care.

Raise 1st time pass rates on the skills exam
Between January and June 2024, CNA Simulations helped one California school achieve a 12% increase in first-time clinical skills exam pass rates! With CNA Simulations, you can improve the effectiveness of your clinical training and help your students enter the workforce faster (Prometrics, Credentia, Headmaster).
100% of CNA instructors agreed that the simulation significantly improved student knowledge and critical thinking.
