How it works

Three minutes, one shift board.

This is thinking practice with fictional patients. Real priorities depend on your assessment, unit policy, acuity, available help, orders, and local escalation procedures.

  1. 0:00

    You get a board

    Three to five cards from a general adult inpatient assignment — a change in condition, a due medication, a new admission, a request, a callback, documentation, something to delegate.

  2. 0:20

    You sort it

    Drag each card into First, Next, or Can Be Planned/Delegated. On a phone, use the buttons on each card instead of dragging.

  3. 2:00

    You name what you need

    One question follows the board: what information or support do you need before moving forward? Recognizing the gap is part of the skill.

  4. 3:00

    You read the reasoning

    No score and no right-or-wrong labels. Each card is explained through the same five-part framework, plus a short line you could actually say when you escalate.
