Nu r s i ng Edu ca t i on
vSim for Nursing provides a virtual
simulated clinical experience and related
learning and reflection activities in
the context of nursing curriculum. It is
designed to support the development of
clinical reasoning skills, competence and
confidence in nursing students to bridge
the gap between education and practice.
• Patient-centred Clinical Experience
— Many
nursing schools have difficulty providing
clinical experiences to students due to the
lack of simulation or clinical time or facilities,
resulting in learners having reduced opportunity
to acquire hands-on experience with diverse
patient groups.
vSim
for Nursing
offers a
patient-centred highly interactive virtual
experience shown to improve learner retention
when compared to lecture only method
• Curriculum Integration
—
vSim for Nursing
not only includes a realistic clinical experience
but a range of related learning and reflection
actitivities in the context of nursing curricula.
Students are guided through preparatory
reading, self-assessment, documentation and
remediation resources.
• Highly Interactive
— Each third-person patient
scenario in this resource puts the learner in
control of the actions performed by a nurse
avatar. The patient responds to the learner’s
actions and questions, offering feedback.
Can I use it to assess student performance?
Grade perfomance and offer feedback using
an expert authored rubric and a personalised
feedback log includes learning resources for further
remediation.
What are the learning benefits?
vSim for Nursing
