keep your cna students engaged with cna simulations

Nurture CNA student critical thinking skills with unexpected clinical challenges.

boost STUDENT CONFIDENCE, COMPETENCE, & readiness for the CNA skills exam WITH CNA SIMULATIONS

Students and instructors love our virtual clinical simulations and debriefings! They keep students engaged in their own learning, build their confidence and competence, while preparing them to provide real-world care and ace their state’s CNA clinical skills exam. 

Our online nursing assistant simulation scenarios offer realistic scenarios with engaging characters and nurse guides, who provide immediate, actionable feedback on clinical decisions. Students make mistakes without risking harm. The HHA and CNA Skills include:

  • Ambulation (gait belt)

  • Bedpan Assistance

  • Catheter Care

  • Denture Care

  • Hand Hygiene

  • Feeding

  • Foot Care

  • Mouth Care

  • Perineal Care

  • Side Positioning

  • TED Hose and Leg Elevation

  • Urine Output

PLUS advanced simulations on colostomy care, glucometers, enemas, and more.

In our simulations, students make key care decisions for older adults with conditions like Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and COPD, honing practical skills in a realistic yet safe virtual setting, increasing their confidence and competence when delivering real-world care.

Real-time feedback promotes learning

Gina Anderson RN explains exactly how the repetition and feedback in our simulation-based CNA training reinforced her students’ clinical skills, enabling them to obtain state certification in Louisiana.

Our Simulation Platform

Flexible Learning with 24/7 Access to cna scenarios

Your students may engage with content anytime, thanks to our self-paced learning platform.

As students progress through the training, they receive instant feedback to help identify strengths and areas for improvement, supporting retention and engagement. Through experiential learning, students gain an enhanced understanding and retention of complex concepts.

    KEEP STUDENTS ENGAGED WITH REALISTIC SCENARIOS

    Involve your students in interactive online simulations set in realistic home and facility-based settings.

    Ensuring realism in simulation is a best practice as described by the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL).

  • PREPARE STUDENTS TO ENTER THE WORKFORCE

    Our HHA and CNA clinical scenarios introduce students to a wide range of older adults with complex personalities and medical needs.

    Providing “hands-on” care through simulation exposes students to the types of challenges they will face in the workforce.

  • Nurse Sabina

  • Nurse Johnson

  • LIN (CNA/HHA)

  • TERESA (CNA/HHA)

  • Students immerse themselves in realistic, self-paced online scenarios, stepping into the role of a Home Health Aide (HHA) or Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). In these scenarios, they provide compassionate care for a fictional older adult in their home, creating a deeply engaging learning experience.

  • Our simulations empower students to enhance their critical thinking skills. Students learn to make informed decisions by navigating unexpected challenges, improving their ability to respond effectively in real-world situations.

  • Students receive real-time feedback from Nurse Sabina and Nurse Johnson throughout the simulations. This continuous guidance helps them learn from their experiences and grow in their caregiving skills, ensuring they are well-prepared for their roles.

Build Core Competencies TO Work ACROSS CLINICAL Settings

Students become characters in realistic situations and play the role of a CNA or HHA student interacting with virtual older adults in simulated home scenarios

Assist characters with their activities of daily living (ADLs) . Strengthen your students’ confidence, prepare them for clinicals and the clinical skills exam, and establish their readiness to care for older adults in real life.

    “Personally, I find that CNA sim has amped my teaching in subtle ways and for that, I am grateful. I know I speak of Ms. Sophie, Mrs. Rogers, and Darna as real residents in the classroom and it's nice having those folks to refer to when we are having discussions.”

    -Celine Champine MSEd, RN

    LNA Instructor, North Country Career Center

  • "I witnessed a remarkable improvement in the confidence levels of our CNA students after implementing CNA Simulations. CNA Simulations effectively engaged our students through interactive modules, enabling them to connect with their scope of practice more rapidly. This increased engagement translated into improved performance both in the classroom and during clinicals."

    -Ms. Aneesa Getaneh

    Owner, Daisy Medical Institute.

  • “Their online simulations have been proven to be extremely beneficial to my students, who have directly applied the knowledge that they have gained from the online simulations to their clinical training, as well as towards preparation for both the written and skills components of the CNA state certification exam.”

    -Elaine Kafle Ph.D., RN

    Evergreen Valley Community College

  • "I absolutely love this product and it is the best that I can offer my students for safe, repeatable, and reflective education and I can't imagine going back to not having it.

    I have taught the nurse aide certification course for five years now and this is the change that I had been looking for; the missing piece!"
