It’s a new day in The Neighborhood 3.0

Compassionate nursing is at the heart of total patient care. In the completely redesigned Neighborhood 3.0, students get to know virtual patients intimately through cohesive, holistic life stories. As they deepen their grasp of the patient experience, they also perfect their clinical decision-making skills.

Patient stories come to life with assignable, interactive learning tools — such as Clinical Care Sims and Decision Making Cases — to support classroom, homework, and simulation labs.

With straightforward, redesigned instructor resources, you can easily incorporate virtual patients into your course from Day One.

And now, as nursing students face a challenging health care climate, The Neighborhood is serving an increasingly important role — to help learners complete or supplement their clinical rounds virtually.
