Nursing Sim: A Mobile Game for Nursing Students

Nursing Sim is a free mobile game developed by New York University for Android devices. It falls under the category of simulation games and is specifically designed for nursing students to practice their decision-making skills when assigning nurses to patients. The game focuses on recognizing nurse competency, assessing patient acuity, and assigning patients to nurses equitably.

Traditionally, nursing students have found it challenging to learn these skills without being on the job in a high-risk environment. Nursing Sim provides a safe environment for students to practice decision-making without risking patient health. The game allows them to fail safely and learn from their mistakes, making it an excellent tool for nursing students to improve their skills.
