Dan Moreshi is the owner of Swift River Virtual Clinical Products. He has experience in both clinical nursing and nursing education, Dan discovered the need for effective ways to replace the loss of practical clinical experiences which current nursing students were faced. He was also keenly aware of the requirement for nursing schools to produce safe practitioners with the skills and ability to do well on their NCLEX exams, enabling them to become caring and proficient clinical nurses. Finally, Dan knew from his experiences in the clinic and the classroom that to accomplish these goals, the nursing student needed to develop his or her experiential learning and sequential thinking skills and understand the concepts of prioritization, delegation, and assignment. Dan’s answer was to create and develop a suite of “Virtual Clinical” software products that could give students and clinical nurses the benefit of his and other colleagues’ years of experience. He has graciously volunteered to sit on our Board of Directors and brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience.
