Bedside Coach

Nursing Simulations

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad

Nursing school teaches the content. Bedside Coach trains the moment. Bedside Coach is a nursing simulation app built for what study guides and practice questions cannot fully teach: applying nursing knowledge in realistic patient care situations. Question banks help you review what you know. Bedside Coach helps you practice what to notice, say, do, delegate, escalate, reassess, and reflect on when patient needs change. Use Bedside Coach to strengthen clinical judgment, communication, prioritization, and bedside confidence through realistic scenarios, unfolding cases, and coaching feedback. Practice across fundamentals, med-surg, mental health, pediatrics, and maternal health. Respond in your own words through introductions, assessments, patient education, SBAR, interruptions, and difficult conversations. Review charts, orders, history, diagnostics, waveform vitals, medication workflows, and head-to-toe assessment findings as each case unfolds. New in version 1.5: Multi-Patient Mode lets you manage up to 3 patients in one realistic simulation. Hear SBAR handoff for each patient, choose or build an assignment, switch between rooms, delegate CNA/UAP tasks, respond to updates, and practice prioritization, organization, and time management. Key features: Practice like a nurse: Move beyond isolated practice questions into realistic patient care decisions. Voice-first simulation: Respond in your own words without scripted taps or menu-based dialogue. Multi-Patient Mode: Manage up to 3 patients, switch rooms, delegate tasks, respond to changing needs, and receive end-of-session coaching. Shift Commander: A replayable, arcade-style 12-hour multi-patient shift challenge with alerts, competing priorities, scoring, and coaching. NCLEX-style Case Studies: Practice 6-question unfolding patient cases aligned to the clinical judgment sequence. SBAR handoff: Start each scenario with clear patient priorities. Immersive clinical context: Simulated vitals, MAR, orders, history, diagnostics, and evolving case data. Role- and scope-aware practice: Choose RN or LVN/LPN with supported state options so objectives, scoring, and coaching match your lane. Study Buddy: Connect one learning goal to a case, communication scenario, and nursing trivia. Test sessions: Pair a learner with a proctor for checkoffs, skills validation, or exam-style practice. Pump simulation: Program IV pumps, resolve occlusion alerts, and start NG or G-tube feedings. Medication/barcode workflow: Scan patient and medication barcodes with your device camera or a Bluetooth scanner. Guided reflection + coaching: End each session with CJMM-aligned feedback, strengths, and improvement areas. Exportable reports: Generate PDF summaries with transcripts and coaching notes. Offline-ready: Core simulation works without Wi-Fi. Privacy-first: Session data stays on device by default. Free + Pro: Free: Access low-risk scenarios across fundamentals, med-surg, mental health, pediatrics, and maternal health, with unlimited runs and report export support. Bedside Coach Pro: Monthly: $4.99/month Annual: $49.99/year U.S. prices shown; pricing may vary by region. Pro unlocks advanced higher-risk scenarios and Custom Case Creator for offline AirDrop or QR sharing. Built by Brandon Dominguez, DNP, MSN-Ed, RN, CHSE, from real bedside experience to support practical, repeatable training for nursing students, new graduates, practicing nurses, and educators.
