Master essential nursing skills from any mobile device

The new and first-of-its-kind Skills Hub App meets today's students where they are - on their smartphones and tablets - and helps them master more than 95 essential nursing skills. Developed and offered in partnership with SkyScape (R), the app features videos, step-by-step procedural instructions, NCLEX (R)-style quizzes, a skill log, and video upload functionality. Its interactive approach helps students build, assess, and track the skills they need to succeed in lab, clinical, and professional settings.

An online gradebook lets instructors monitor student progress easily and hold students accountable for their work. By requiring quiz completion as an entry ticket to class, lab, or clinical, instructors can better prepare students and pinpoint areas of difficulty - allowing them to make the most of their in-person time with students.

The Skills Hub App may be packaged with other Pearson nursing materials or purchased as a standalone item. Access to the iTunes (R) Store or Google Play (TM) store is required for usage. Instructors, please contact your Pearson representative for more information. Students, please ask your instructor for more information on how to purchase and access the Skills Hub App.
