Nursing Anne Simulator

Helping you train for the highest level of care

From basic assessment to advanced practice

The first nursing simulator to cover every aspect of modern nursing education, Nursing Anne Simulator offers safe and realistic practice on core nursing skills - from basic assessments and critical thinking to advanced interventions. 

This simulator can be used as a highly realistic patient simulator as well as a skills trainer.

A modular platform

One Simulator - Many Patients

Nursing Anne Simulator is a modular platform consisting of a variety of accessories and interchangeable parts that facilitate a variety of simulated patients and provide unique training opportunities.

Male Module  

Extends clinical skills and simulation training across genders to better prepare students for the care of diverse patient.

Geriatric Module

Providing the physical realism needed to help learners reflect on the uncertainties, complications, and complexities of geriatric nursing realities.

African Descent module

Provides learners with added realism to help develop cultural competence and situational awareness about cultural characteristics that can play a major role in a patients care.

Staged Wound Feet

Feet skin accessories that represent staged wounds for advanced skills practice with diabetic, pressure ulcer or bed sore feet.

Postsurgical Mastectomy Skin

Learners can practice post-surgical care skills for a patient who has undergone a mastectomy procedure.

Wound Assessment Care Kit

Skin modules to help learners identify, assess and treat different types of patient wounds.

Subcutaneous Injection Pads

Absorbable pads placed under the skin to help learners with skills training of administering injections.

All modules for Nursing Anne Simulator

Medication and fluids

Train on  infusion of fluids and medication with bilateral (pre-ported) IV arms and central line catheter. 

Train on CPR

CPR capabilities including compressions and ventilation. 

Bilateral assessment

Perform realistic vital signs assessment with bilateral blood pressures and pulses.

 Highly realistic

Tetherless operation

Let learners interact realistically with wireless and tetherless operation.

Realistic articulation

Expand the scope of training

Take your training to the next level with add-on accessory modules that facilitate clinical training focused on learning objectives geared toward mastectomy care, wound assessment and general patient care.

Covering every aspect of modern nursing curriculum

Fundamentals of Nursing

Nursing Anne Simulators feature set supports nursing curricula. With learning objectives at the core of the design, Nursing Anne Simulator is the ideal simulator to teach the fundamental skills of nursing.

From assessment and diagnosis skills, through planning, implementation and evaluation, Nursing Anne Simulator allows learners to experience successes and mistakes while gaining the necessary confidence in a safe environment.

Nurse Orientation

The transition from nursing school to clinical practice can be challenging. Effective onboarding that includes realistic, hands-on simulation training is critical to a nurses success and to the safety of patients. 

Delivering new hire training with Nursing Anne Simulator provides the ability to practice local protocols, test systems, and ensure patient safety procedures using a highly realistic female patient simulator.

This can help accelerate the preparedness of new nurses as they enter practice.

Pharmacology

Pharmacology is one of the most important elements in nursing education. From dosage and administration to monitoring the effects, nurses must work cross functionally to ensure safe medication practice.

Nursing Anne Simulator allows learners to administer medication via IV, CVP, nasogastric, IM, anal and vaginal routes. They can administer medication and experience realistic responses from the simulator.

Health Assessment

Nurses have many responsibilities, including assessing the needs of their patients. The initial health assessment is vital to the patients continuous well-being.  

Training with Nursing Anne Simulator allows learners to use their knowledge of medical equipment to check breathing rate, bilateral blood pressure assessment, heart rate, and various other health indicators that help determine a course of action.

 Learners get immediate feedback from the simulator and the simulated patient monitor.

Medical-Surgical

Medical surgical nursing is a unique and comprehensive specialty, responding to the wide variety of problems patients may experience.

Nursing Anne Simulator can help simulate med-surg scenarios allowing learners to practice skills such as starting bilateral intravenous (IV) fluids, administering medications, patient positioning and hygiene.

Healthcare professionals can also practice measuring and recording vital signs, changing dressings, and management of post-operative treatment.

Mental Health

One nursing specialty that is experiencing growing demand for workers is psychology and mental health. Nurses play a vital role in the psychiatric care process.
