ONLINE (DAVIS ADVANTAGE)

Using a unique and proven approach across a Learn-Apply-Assess-Simulate continuum, Davis Advantage’s personalized learning, clinical judgment, quizzing, and simulation assignments (coming December 2025) engage students; help them make the connections to key topics; and prepare for NCLEX® success. Davis Advantage aligns seamlessly with the textbook and equips instructors with actionable analytics to track students’ progress, remediate where needed, and facilitate an active learning environment.

• LEARN—Personalized Learning

  Personalized Learning immerses students in an online learning experience tailored to their needs. Students are assessed on their comprehension of key topics from the text and then are guided through animated mini-lecture videos and dynamic activities to reinforce learning and apply their knowledge.

• APPLY—Clinical Judgment

  Clinical Judgment challenges students to think critically and make informed decisions to achieve the best patient outcomes. Real-world case studies mirror the complexities they will encounter in a variety of settings, helping them to build the skills they need to be practice-ready nurses and prepare for the NCLEX®.

• ASSESS—Quizzing

  Quizzing uses NCLEX®-style questions to provide the additional practice students need to master must-know concepts and improve their scores on classroom and certification exams.

• SIMS—Simulate

  Simulation assignments immerse students in realistic clinical scenarios with interactive decision points, branching logic, evolving EHRs, and comprehensive post-scenario feedback to practice their clinical decision-making skills and develop their clinical judgment in a safe, supportive environment that prepares them for real-world practice.
