I am a first year nursing student also working full time with children. My university has an incredible skills lab but it has been hard for me to find extra time to drive down and practice basic nursing skills. Is there a website where you can practice skills... sort of like an online simulation for nursing skills? I'm especially looking for basic IV nursing skills (setting up tubing, piggybacks) I have searched but have not found anything so far.
Thank you in advance for the input!

Welcome TMarie43, thank you for sharing your story. With the already limited time of clinical hours in nursing programs, I highly suggest you get some time in the skills lab. Why? Skills lab is important and bigger than what you think. It is what nursing is all about- no textbook, power point or even exams- its hands-on application to help save a life. I wish you the best on your journey.
