Watch NursingProxy on WHAS11 Great Day Live
The complete interview about balancing nursing careers, online nursing school and study support.
About this interview
NursingProxy joins WHAS11 Great Day Live to discuss the realities of balancing clinical shifts, personal responsibilities and online nursing school. The conversation introduces the idea behind the platform: helping nursing students find focused study resources and continue their work in a connected study environment.
Topics include the demands facing working nurses, finding relevant nursing-school resources and using focused study support alongside a busy schedule.

Many nursing students are already working in healthcare. They finish a 12-hour shift, drive home and then open a virtual patient case, a care plan or an exam-prep session. The challenge is rarely motivation. It is time, and the hours lost searching for the right resource at the end of a long day.
That theme runs through the WHAS11 conversation. Online nursing programs give working nurses the flexibility to keep earning while they advance their careers. They also ask students to master simulation platforms, clinical documentation and licensure preparation, often with little guidance on how each tool is scored.
NursingProxy was built around that gap. Instead of scattering resources across folders, forums and bookmarks, the platform organizes study material by the exact task a student is working on. The sections below explain how that works for three of the most common requests: Shadow Health help, iHuman help and NCLEX practice.
The interview also touches on something many students feel but rarely say. Studying alone late at night after a demanding shift can feel isolating. Having clear, case-specific resources waiting in one place makes those sessions shorter, more productive and far less stressful.
Shadow Health help for virtual patient assessments
Shadow Health's Digital Clinical Experience asks students to interview a virtual patient, perform a physical exam and document their findings. Points depend on how thoroughly you gather subjective data, how completely you document objective findings and whether you include education and empathy along the way.
Most students who look for Shadow Health help are not missing clinical knowledge. They are missing structure. Useful preparation starts with a framework for every complaint, such as OLDCARTS, follow-up questions for every positive answer, and documentation that records normal findings as carefully as abnormal ones.
NursingProxy organizes Shadow Health study resources by patient and module, from Tina Jones to specialty cases. Each guide shows the case context, the questions worth asking and how findings connect to documentation, so students can study the case before they open the simulation. Our Shadow Health scoring tips cover the most common reasons students lose points.
iHuman help for focused diagnostic reasoning
i-Human Patients cases work differently. The platform tracks every question you ask and every test you order, so efficiency matters as much as thoroughness. Students are expected to build a ranked differential diagnosis, justify their testing and write a management plan that covers the whole patient.
Good iHuman help teaches that reasoning path. It shows how to form early hypotheses from the history, keep the physical exam targeted, include must-not-miss diagnoses and order only the tests that will change the plan. Seeing that structure for a similar patient makes each new case faster and more confident.
NursingProxy's iHuman case study resources walk through each stage of individual cases, from the electronic health record to history, physical exam and actions. For a section-by-section overview, read our guide to completing an iHuman case study.
NCLEX practice built around clinical judgment
Licensure is the final step for every nursing student, and preparation matters. According to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing, the first-time pass rate for U.S.-educated NCLEX-RN candidates was 86.7% in 2025, down from 91.2% the year before. The Next Generation NCLEX now measures clinical judgment through unfolding case studies and new item types, not memorization alone.
Effective NCLEX practice reflects that shift. Candidates benefit from exam-style questions, full case studies under timed conditions and detailed rationales that explain why one action is safer than the alternatives. Reviewing weak areas and then practicing again is where most improvement happens.
The NursingProxy NCLEX Simulation Lab offers separate RN and PN practice paths, unfolding clinical judgment cases and immediate rationales in a calm, exam-style workspace. Students can connect each result to focused NCLEX resources and MyQBank topic practice. Like any practice tool, it builds skills and cannot predict or guarantee an NCLEX result.
One connected Student Hub
The idea discussed on Great Day Live is simple: working nurses should spend their limited study time learning, not searching. The NursingProxy Student Hub keeps purchased resources, the ebook reader, flashcards, MyQBank and NCLEX practice together in one account, so students can pick up exactly where they stopped after their next shift.
Whether you need Shadow Health help this week, iHuman help for an advanced assessment course or NCLEX practice before test day, you can start with the resource that matches the task in front of you. Open the Student Hub or compare plans and pricing.
