Difficult concepts, made easy to understand.
The foundation of Vaughn NextGen Education is clarity. Whether the product is a contact-hour course, a guided learning path, or a multi-device simulation scenario, the goal is to help nurses understand what is happening, why it matters, and what to do next.
Connect the why
Show how symptoms, interventions, patient changes, and monitor responses fit together instead of teaching them as isolated facts.
Build confidence
Give nurses practical ways to rehearse decisions, recognize patterns, and carry learning back into patient care.
Built around the way nurses actually learn.
The app brings clear explanations, course access, learning paths, contact-hour progress, course medals, and personal learning status into one clean mobile experience.
Catalog
Browse courses by assessment, skills, communication, and other practice-focused categories.
My Learning
Return to active courses, completed content, contact-hour progress, and saved learning paths.
Profile
Keep learner status, contact-hour records, and future account tools in one reliable place.
211 scenario-library build
Vital Sim brings patient scenarios across three connected devices.
Vital Sim is a simulation suite for nurse education that makes complex patient changes easier to see and teach. An educator runs the scenario from a controller interface, the nurse works through assessment and interventions on a bedside navigator, and the patient monitor responds to those decisions in real time.
Educator Controller
Start, pause, redirect, and progress patient scenarios while keeping the simulation objective in view.
Bedside Navigator
Guide the nurse through assessments, interventions, cues, and clinical decision points at the bedside.
Responsive Monitor
Reflect patient changes as the bedside navigator records assessments and interventions.
Scenario families can be organized by neurological, cardiac, respiratory, sepsis, blood pressure, obstetric, toxicology, endocrine, trauma, electrolyte, and post-surgical priorities.
One scenario, three synchronized interfaces.
A single case can become a complete simulation environment: the nurse sees bedside actions, the educator sees decision support and scenario trajectory, and the monitor responds with live patient data.
Nurse view
Bedside Navigator
Presents patient context, urgent cues, oxygen choices, prepared medications, assessment timers, and bedside actions the learner can take.
Instructor view
Educator Controller
Gives the educator alerts, patient context, scenario trajectory, timing, key actions, and debrief ratings for validation.
Live patient view
Responsive Monitor
Shows ECG, pleth, CO2, alarms, frozen-to-live comparisons, and vital-sign panels that change as decisions are made.
Choose the mode that fits the lesson.
Educators can run Vital Sim with the amount of structure the moment needs, from open-ended teaching to patient profiles and full competency scenarios.
Manual
Drive every vital sign, rhythm, and event from educator controls. Best for sandbox practice, rapid teaching pivots, and improvisational simulation.
Patient Profile
Load a fleshed-out simulated patient with chart, history, labs, and baseline vitals, then manually drive changes against that clinical context.
Scenario
Run a pre-built case with patient context, timeline, learning objectives, and NPD competency alignment for structured validation.
A course catalog designed for contact hours.
Course listings can turn difficult clinical topics into focused lessons while highlighting category, level, price, estimated time, and contact-hour value once provider approval and final course details are confirmed.
