Nursing Assessment (video & activities hidden in this demo course)
The Nursing assessment is the very first step in the nursing process — and it sets the stage for everything that follows in patient care. By gathering a complete picture through observation, interview, and physical exam, nurses identify what’s normal, what’s not, and what requires immediate attention. In this lesson, we’ll cover how a strong assessment guides clinical judgment, improves outcomes, and ensures safe, effective care step-by-step.

Neurology (video & activities hidden in this demo course)
The nervous system controls every thought, movement, and function in the body — which means neurological issues can have life-changing and life-threatening consequences. For nurses, understanding how the brain, spinal cord, and nerves work is essential for recognizing emergencies and guiding care. In this section, we’ll begin with neurology anatomy and the nervous system, then move into tools like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), neuro assessments, and pupil checks that help identify problems early. We’ll cover critical conditions such as brain injuries, skull fractures, brain bleeds, and seizures, and explore the complications of pressures in the brain, brain infections, and brain death. You’ll also learn how to assess and manage spinal cord anatomy and injuries, as well as recognize and respond to stroke, one of the most time-sensitive neurological emergencies. Finally, we’ll tie in understanding sedation, a vital part of managing patients with neurological compromise. By the end of this section, you’ll have a strong foundation in neurology — from anatomy and assessment to life-saving interventions — giving you the skills and confidence to respond when every second matters.
