Tips to improve your patient care training
One of the most talked-about features of the life-size manikin Nikki is the auscultation training stethoscope NursingScope powered by Cardionics. NursingScope is an electronic simulation training stethoscope that allows to auscultate the Nikki Manikin utilizing a set of RFID tags built-in at the correct auscultation sites. It can be used with Objective Structured Clinical Examination training (OSCE) or any other examination trainings and programs. The connection between the NursingScope and the instructor device is wireless - making the training process quick and hassle-free!
Superior sound quality
Cardionics is renowned for unique and interactive teaching systems for medical and clinical education. The NursingScope offers an extensive library of 42 sounds consisting of:
- 21 heart sounds
- 15 lung sounds (including Covid-19 auscultation lung sound)
- 6 bowel sounds
Nikki has flexible joints and can be positioned like a real patient with natural movements of the arms and legs. Based on the individual training needs, the manikin can sit upright in bed for treatments and simulate either male or female patient due to its interchangeable genitals. Along with this, a wide range of patient care skills and bedside manners can be taught and practiced using Nikki, such as:
- Haircare (washing, combing, drying)
- Pressure ulcer care and assessment (stages 2-4)
- Wound care and care (surgical staples, tears and abrasions)

- Personal hygiene and oral care (removable partial denture)
