Simulation guide library
Practical field guides for virtual patients—built around the reasoning, assessment, and documentation skills that transfer beyond one score.
Begin here
Original learning frameworks with source-led clinical context and clearly disclosed optional resources.
Pillar guide · 9 min
Know your assessment type, run the interview funnel, use one exam route, and chart findings that hold up—on any patient.
Troubleshooting · 8 min
Diagnose whether your problem is the interview, the exam, the documentation, or the clock—then fix it.
Essential method · 8 min
Use one repeatable sequence to prepare, recognize cues, make decisions, document the response, and turn the debrief into better performance.
Assessment guide · 8 min
Build a reliable examination route, connect findings across systems, rank meaningful deviations, and document one coherent patient picture.
Field guide · 6 min
Build a patient-centered interview, recognize clinical cues, and document the story without chasing disconnected prompts.
Case reasoning · 7 min
Organize obstetric urgency, maternal–fetal cues, differential thinking, and psychosocial safety as one changing picture.
Focused assessment · 8 min
Build the therapeutic frame, organize the mental status examination, ask about safety directly, and document observable distinctions without stigma.
Orientation guide · 9 min
What distinguishes Shadow Health, i-Human, Sentinel U, and vSim—and what to do differently on each.
Case reasoning · 8 min
Recognize, analyze, prioritize, act, and evaluate—the NCSBN model behind every Sentinel U scenario.
Exam preparation · 8 min
How the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model shows up on test day, and how to practice it.
Follow a track
Use platform-specific guides to practice skills that remain useful in simulation, lab, and clinical settings.
Shadow Health
Guides for structured interviewing, focused assessment, patient education, and translating virtual encounters into clear notes.
i-Human Patients
Guides for problem representation, differential thinking, diagnostic choices, management planning, and SOAP documentation.
Practice across cases
The platform changes. The core work—recognizing cues, setting priorities, and communicating clearly—does not.
Optional reference library
NursingProxy maintains a larger catalog of Shadow Health, i-Human, and vSim study resources with individual previews.
