Read the room.
Then teach the content.
PulsePoint EQ Connection Polls are anonymous, two-minute check-ins for your classroom, built on one idea: connection before content. Learners carry more into the room than the lesson plan accounts for, most of it invisible until it surfaces as silence.
20 poll packs, each paired with a debrief guide that turns real answers into a real moment of connection, and gives you a place to start.
Choose from 20 poll packs designed around the moments that matter most in nursing education, from the first day of class to building resilience and well-being.
Learners scan and respond anonymously in under two minutes. No logins, no accounts, no data collected. The entire experience is designed to take about 10 minutes.
Your collaborative debrief guide connects your learners' real responses to emotional intelligence, giving you the language, talking points, and direction for the conversation that follows.
