A nurse in a small community hospital freezes during emergencies, unable to recall critical details or actions, and lacks consistent exposure to build confidence and structured response skills.

Current training and on-the-job experience do not provide sufficient low-stakes, repeated practice for rare emergency scenarios, leaving nurses unprepared for high-pressure situations without real-time decision support.
