Lab Defender
In a galaxy not so far away, lab values have gone rogue.
Pilot the Lab Defender and take aim at abnormal lab values before they get through. Normal or abnormal? High or low? You've got about three seconds to decide before the next one comes flying at you.
Know what's high. Know what's low. Try not to shoot the friendlies.
The body is counting on you, nurse. Defend the labs. Save the patient.

IV Line
The order is in. Now make the units line up.
Build the calculation one piece at a time: choose your values, place your units, and cancel what you don't need.
Work through IV rates, volumes, time, and pump settings without letting the equation wander off into another dimension.
Get the IV math flowing before time runs out. Because a beautifully arranged equation still needs the right answer.
Because the drip rate does not care how you feel about fractions.

Electrolyte Shift
The electrolytes are out of balance. Again.
Potassium is causing drama, sodium has wandered off, and calcium and magnesium are doing that thing where their symptoms all start looking suspiciously alike.
Connect the labs to assessment findings, medications, and nursing interventions before somebody decides every muscle twitch is potassium.
Four electrolytes. Approximately 400 ways to confuse them.

Priority Rush
Four nurses. One patient. Somebody better know what to do first.
The patient is circling the drain and apparently this is a group project.
Read the scenario, pick the first nursing action, and beat the other players to the buzzer. Correct and fastest takes the round.
Everyone gets the same patient. Unfortunately, everyone also thinks they're right.
Guess wrong and lose 50% of the points.
Because “let me think about it” wasn’t in the orders.

TIC TAC RN
Three in a row or you're floated.
Choose a question, flip for answers, and claim your square. Challenge a study partner or the computer with the approved oncology question bank.
Get it right and the square is yours. Get it wrong and your opponent gets another shot at the board.
Block the other player, build your line, and try not to discover that the one question standing between you and victory is the one cancer concept you skipped.
Three squares. One row. No partial credit.
Play now →Tray Check
Same tray. Different day. Still judging the Jell-O.
Choose the right foods, match diets, and handle patient questions. Each tray comes with a story, and every choice matters.
Move through Check the Tray, Match the Diet, and Respond to the Patient as the questions shift from recognizing appropriate foods to applying nutrition teaching at the bedside.
Because apparently lunch is an assessment finding now.

Classroom Rush
Forty students. One question. Everybody thinks they're first.
Launch a question to the whole class and watch the answers come in. Correct and fastest takes the round.
Because apparently nursing school needed a reaction-time component.
I'll Take RN for 500
The points get higher. So does the panic.
Pick a category, choose your point value, and see how far your nursing knowledge gets you. The higher the value, the harder the question.
Somewhere in your notes is the answer.
Med-Surg Showdown
We asked the floor. They had opinions.
Two teams. One question. A whole lot of possible answers. Guess what your classmates said and reveal the most popular responses on the board.
Because apparently your classmates are now a clinical data set.
