Abstract: An educational device employing a game situation to teach student nurses or graduate nurses is disclosed. The educational device is generally comprised of a playing board having a plurality of contiguous areas extending around the perimeter of the board, and also having additional areas in the central region of the board. Most of the contiguous areas are grouped into three groups, designated "acute", "intermediate", and "convalescence". The educational device also includes two decks of cards, one relating to admission onto the playing board, and the other relating to play on the playing board. All of the cards have printed on one side thereof a question relating to the medical field, together with several alternative answers, only one of which is correct. The other side of each card reveals the correct answer, and also has printed thereon instructions as to what to do in the case of a correct answer, and what to do in case of an incorrect answer.
