Challenges making the rounds
Aspiring nurses today face a complex educational landscape, where traditional methods
often fall short in meeting modern demands.
Surging workforce demand
The U.S. faces a projected shortage of 200,000 nurses by 2032, putting pressure on schools to enroll and graduate more students—fast.
Rigorous prerequisite standards
Core science courses mandate hands-on labs for admission to nursing programs.
Rapid growth of online pathways
With 700+ ASN, RN to BSN and BSN programs now online—and more 100,000+ enrollments per year—maintaining academically equivalent coursework and real lab experiences has become a major hurdle.
Clinical confidence gap
Without authentic, hands‑on practice in online nursing programs, students enter clinical rotations underprepared, impacting both their confidence and patient‑care quality.
Chart a better path forward
Science Interactive offers ready-to-use lab kits, accreditation‑aligned curriculum, and an integrated Lab Portal that embeds real‑world practice into every prerequisite and Nursing Fundamentals course from anywhere.
Prepare them for nursing program admission and success. Then build procedural confidence with Nursing Fundamentals that supports the development of essential clinical skills in areas such as vital signs assessments, blood draw procedures, and wound care and dressing.
