What's New in vSim for Nursing

15.2.1

Minor bug fixes to improve stability and performance

User reviews

Amazing

I was having so much trouble with the website itself so I figured I'd try out the app. Maybe they fixed since all these bad reviews but it was amazing and I ended up having no issues. The sim didn't take forever to load, there was no lag, and my score transferred over to my account quickly

App not Supported on IPad

I spent one hour and about 6 partial attempts on Stan Checketts (same problem on the last few I’ve tried as well), before it would inevitably crash bringing me back to my Home Screen. There is also no resume button, so every time I lost all my progress.

It’s impossible to submit an assignment if you can’t complete it.

I really hope this problem gets fixed!

It doesn’t always give full credit

I will follow all the steps but for whatever reason it never recognizes that I have viewed the EHR. I will click through every tab of the EHR and scroll through everything, several times throughout the simulation but it never gives me credit for it.

Yup, app is trash

Good thing I started my homework days before its due. I have an M1 iPad Pro, and nothing I do seems to get my past the Sim Loading screen. I’ve restarted my iPad, checked the internet connection, deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing changes.

So how does a company with as much resources as this have a trash app? Easy, we have no choice but to use it as students.

I’m going to have to use a work PC from the early 2010s and hope I can finish this assignment.

Nursing program

Had to pop in and say to counter the bad reviews:
The app works as intended for me using: base 9th gen iPad
Actually easier than computer.
