with experienced educator Samantha Rhea, MSN, RN

Nursing clinical skills are the tools that you will use on every shift with every patient. Getting thrown into clinical despite not feeling very confident yet after a quick demonstration can be daunting.

This course will help you master practical nursing skills such as starting IVs, setting up a room with seizure precautions, managing indwelling catheters, and the fundamentals of wound care. You’ll also learn about central line care, suctioning, and removing sutures, among other essential competencies. Cutting-edge tutorial videos using 3 cameras and detailed labelling give you an up-close view of the procedures, being demonstrated step-by-step by experienced nurse and educator Samantha Rhea, MSN, RN.

An adaptive learning algorithm, downloadable Cheat Sheets, and a NCLEX-style Qbank are part of the learning platform, boosting retention and understanding. By the end of this course, you will have understood and internalized basic nursing skills and procedures, and feel more confident to apply them with your first nursing clients.

FAQs

What are clinical skills in nursing?

In nursing school, there are theoretical lectures and clinical lessons. In theoretical classes, you learn the essential knowledge which you should apply in clinicals. There, students are often tested on nursing skills by performing them in front of their instructor. Sometimes, mannequin simulators are used to help the student learn. Examples for basic clinical skills are starting an IV, inserting a Foley catheter, putting on sterile gloves, blood transfusions, and tracheotomy care.

How to improve clinical reasoning skills in nursing?

In the clinical skills course, you will refine your skills in recognizing and interpreting clinical signs and symptoms. To develop skills in clinical reasoning, you must intentionally practice applying your knowledge to clinical cases, either virtual (e.g., paper, online, standardized patient) or real (patient care).

How to pass clinical skills in nursing?

The best way to succeed with nursing clinical skills as a beginner is to combine different learning modalities:
First, deep-dive into the topics with video lessons and master the key concepts with Lecturio’s concise cheat sheets.
Next, apply what you’ve learned to practical situations by answering clinical case questions in the Qbank.
Lastly, make sure you retain information long-term by regularly reviewing your knowledge with Spaced-Repetition quizzes.
Make use of the high-quality video tutorials that lead you through procedures step-by-step and practice, practice, practice!
