3B Scientific® Nikki the Nursing Manikin with Auscultation

Developed specifically for scenario-based simulation.

Nikki the Nursing Manikin simulates an adult, life-size patient and comes with the NursingScope Auscultation Training Stethoscope powered by Cardionics. NursingScope is an electronic simulation-training stethoscope created for auscultation training purposes or objective structured clinical examinations (O.S.C.E.). It functions wirelessly with the included controller tablet and gives the instructor access to the large high quality sound library from Cardionics. The instructor can select and change any of the physiological and pathological sounds that the trainees will hear through the NursingScope once they place the stethoscope on one of the auscultation sites of the manikin.

The auscultation sounds library includes 21 heart sounds, 15 lungs sounds, and 6 bowel sounds.

The instructor can easily change the auscultation sounds on the controller tablet for each of the 15 locations using NursingScope’s wireless functionality. Thus, the instructor has a tool to adapt the scenario on the spot, so that it fits any nursing curriculum or training program. Nikki the Nursing Manikin can be set up both as a male or a female patient thanks to interchangeable genitals and can be positioned like a real patient with natural movement of the arms, legs, and joints. Nikki can even sit upright in the bed for treatments and examinations, making it the ideal training solution for bedside competencies. It is made of durable, unbreakable, and water-resistant plastics for longevity in the everyday training use.

Training with Nikki the Nursing Manikin PRO meets the OBRA requirements of Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs (NATCEP).
