The Nurse’s Toolkit will introduce learners to various life-saving nursing skills and interventions. Learn critical life-saving concepts and skills related to airway management, trauma, immobilization and splinting, sepsis management, wound care, and obstetrical emergencies. This course also integrates augmented reality into two modules: airways and immobilization, and splinting. The augmented reality will be powered through the learner’s mobile device via a web-based tool that will provide simulations and test learners’ knowledge of the material.

In the first module of the Nurse's Toolkit, you will be introduced to your course instructors, review course objectives in the syllabus, introduce yourself to your fellow learners, and take the course pre-survey. You will then dive into your first lesson on airway management with your instructor, Deb Lee. Specifically, you will learn about airway anatomy, airway assessment, common airway complications, and recommended treatment options.
