Build the Perfect Simulation Supply Kit for Your Program with Pocket Nurse Custom Kits

Every healthcare education program has unique needs. A nursing program teaching fundamental skills likely requires a different set of supplies than an EMS program preparing students for emergency response, or a surgical technology program building hands-on procedural experiences.

Finding, organizing, and managing all the supplies needed for effective simulation training can be time-consuming.

That's why Pocket Nurse offers Custom Simulation Supply Kits—a flexible solution that allows educators to create one-per-student Kits tailored specifically to their curriculum, learning objectives, and students.

With the Pocket Nurse Custom Kit Builder, educators can select the supplies, bag style, and personalization options that best fit their program, creating a ready-to-use solution designed around their teaching needs.

Why Custom Simulation Supply Kits Matter

Simulation-based education works best when students

Why the ALEX Gen AI Pro Is Setting the Standard in Patient Simulation

Healthcare education is evolving quickly—and simulation technology needs to keep up. Today’s learners must do more than perform procedures; they must think critically, communicate clearly, and deliver compassionate, patient-centered care in real time.

That’s exactly where the ALEX Gen AI platform from Nasco Healthcare stands apart.

While ALEX is available in multiple models and pricing tiers to fit different program needs, the ALEX Gen AI Pro Patient Communication Simulator represents the most advanced, fully realized version of the platform—and the one built to deliver the highest level of training impact.

More Than a Simulator—A Complete Learning Experience

At its core, ALEX Gen AI Pro is not just a manikin or a task trainer. It’s a comprehensive communication and clinical training solution powered by bespoke generative AI.

Unlike traditional simulators that rely on pre-programmed responses, ALEX Pro enables:

Introducing Patient Mask Overlays: A Simple Way to Expand the Possibilities of Healthcare Simulation

Simulation educators are constantly looking for ways to create more realistic, engaging learning experiences without adding unnecessary complexity or cost to their labs. That's why Pocket Nurse is excited to introduce our new line of Patient Mask Overlays—an innovative solution that allows educators to quickly transform compatible patient simulators into a variety of lifelike patients.

Our new Patient Mask Overlays collection features high-quality, realistic overlays designed to help educators create more diverse and immersive simulation experiences while maximizing the value of the simulators they already own.

What Are Patient Mask Overlays?

Patient Mask Overlays are realistic silicone masks that fit over compatible patient simulators. In just minutes, educators can change the appearance of a simulator to represent different patient populations, creating a fresh, authentic simulation experience
