Abstract
This article describes an interactive heparin drip learning exercise for nurse residents using concepts similar to "The Amazing Race." The goal of the exercise was to strengthen critical thinking related to heparin drip setup and maintenance in the acute care setting. The game consisted of a start line and five pit stops to solve a puzzle, perform a skill, perform a medication calculation, perform an intervention, and complete a short quiz.
