Intro
Meet Your Student
You’re working with Mia, a first-semester nursing student who struggles with IV starts and Foley catheter insertions. She notices the Laerdal Modular Skills Trainer (MST) box in the skills lab and asks:
"Isn’t this just a plastic box? How can practicing on this help me with real patients?"
As her mentor, you know the MST box is a powerful tool for repetitive, focused skill-building.
