How Osmosis Supports Nursing Faculty
We focus on supporting faculty in three main ways: giving you the ability to spot struggling students early through a dynamic analytics dashboard, aligning the correct content to your existing curriculum, and giving you the resources you need to promote active learning from anywhere.
Reporting & Analytics
You and your colleagues need to identify and remediate at-risk (and failing) students as early as possible.
With Osmosis, you can offer continuous low-stakes assessments to students with thousands of NCLEX-style questions. By pairing these assessments with the Osmosis Reporting Dashboard, you can spot learning gaps, and your institution will receive an early indication of students who are struggling.
Curricular Alignment & NCLEX Prep
Osmosis is designed to work with your course content, not to replace it…or you.
Curating Osmosis videos, flashcards, and practice questions aligned with your curriculum, and sharing them with your learners through your LMS, is simple and intuitive. Our flexible platform supports your program’s learning goals and meets your learners where they are.
Flipped Classroom Resources
When flipping the classroom, Osmosis provides you with out-of-class resources with comprehensive coverage of pathology, the nursing process, client-centered care and collaboration with the interdisciplinary healthcare team. Our client scenarios resources present critical cues and clues students need in order to form clinical judgments, make clinical decisions and use outcome-oriented thinking.

Osmosis is the best learning tool I've seen in my 30 years as an educator. I've taught LVN/LPN, ADN, BSN, MSN and DNP students and there is something for all levels of nursing education with Osmosis.
Sharon Goldfarb, DNP, RN, FNP-BC Fmr. Dean of Health Sciences, College of Marin; Adjunct Faculty, Touro University
Illustrated videos plus linked assessment items that support teaching and learning
Built to support a variety of curricula, our rapidly-growing library of hundreds of videos aids your students throughout their nursing school journey, from fundamental videos like physical assessments to graduation with topics like leadership and research. Our nurse educators ensure Osmosis content aligns to professional, NCLEX® and accreditation standards.
Give your students access to the most comprehensive essential sciences library available. From Anatomy and Molecular Biology to Epidemiology and Physiology, you'll be confident that your students are able to engage in active learning from the start to help build a strong foundation of knowledge.
Thousands of NCLEX® and NCLEX NextGen®-style questions paired 1:1 with learning objectives present nursing students with information in the same way they’ll practice as a professional. Our detailed rationales in each assessment item promote true learning instead of memorization.

Modern nursing students love using Osmosis
The discovery of Osmosis was life-changing for me! I went from crying in the Dean's office over a test grade to being asked to be a teacher's assistant for Pathophysiology.
Jana Ferris, Nursing Student
George Fox University
The main reasons why I love using Osmosis - is the convenience of being able to watch videos wherever I am, and the thoroughness of the videos.
Kayla Louis, RN
Atlantic Health System
Osmosis provides relevant content that’s been meticulously-tailored and is conveyed with enthusiasm and humor. The more I use Osmosis, the more I appreciate what Osmosis provides as an active study partner.
