Description

NurseLogic® 2.0 is an interactive, media-rich, online tutorial designed to introduce students to the new ATI Helix of Success. This model illustrates how knowledge and clinical judgment, supported by concepts derived from the QSEN competencies and IOM recommendations for nursing education, can prepare the student for academic and NCLEX success. This robust and interactive tutorial introduces nursing students to core concepts relevant to nursing practice, arms students with study and test taking skills, and introduces them to the NCLEX examination process.

Faculty and students both will benefit from a wide array of case studies, applied learning examples, and learning resources that support student success throughout the curriculum. The depth and breadth of the content will provide beginning and advanced students valuable information they can use in classroom and clinical settings.

Features ● NEW: ATI Helix of Success

◯ Integrates key concepts of nursing into a framework that provides students, graduates, and practicing nurses with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for success

NurseLogIC® 2.0


☐ Client education

☐ Professionalism

☐ Leadership

☐ Priority setting

● Extensive use of illustrations and images help explain and clarify concepts.

● Videos walk students through the process of critically reading and answering test items.

● 10-item drills at the conclusion of each module reinforce content and enhance learning.

● NCLEX-style tests may be taken at the completion of each module. These tests:

◯ Require students to apply the concepts/frameworks discussed in the module to client care situations.

◯ Provide enhanced rationales with an overview that explains in detail which concept/framework and what nursing knowledge was needed to answer each item correctly.

◯ Provide two levels of testing:

■ 20-item test for beginning-level students

■ 20-item test for advanced-level students

● The Flag for Review feature allows students to return to test items they did not previously complete and answer them prior to submitting the test.

● The Critical Thinking Guide is a quick reference tool that is available within every module. (Look for the Critical Thinking Guide icon.) It presents the essential elements of the ATI Helix of Success and summarizes the key concepts of NurseLogic 2.0 specifically relating to:

◯ Knowledge and clinical judgment

◯ Priority setting frameworks

◯ Critically reading test items

Recommended Use ● Lecture aid (illustrations, test-item videos, case studies, priority

setting frameworks)

● Classroom discussion

● Independent study

● Preparation for faculty-prepared exams

● Preparation for standardized exams

● Preparation for clinical practice

● Clinical post-conference

● Remediation activity

● Preparation for NCLEX

● Preparation for initial position post-graduation
