SimAdviser is the online resource linking textbook
theory to simulation practice. It provides scenario-
targeted assessment, treatment, risk factors,
procedure details, possible complications, and
relevant medications all in one easy website. In this
way SimAdviser supports students before, during,
and after the simulation.

systems, such as Lippincott’s Nursing
Procedures and Skills (LNPS) and Lippincott’s
Nursing Adviser (LNA).

What are the learning benefits?
SimAdviser bridges the gap between theory and
practice. It gives students access to integrated
images, videos and reference material which will
help them prepare for and digest simulations.
SimAdviser makes learning efficient and practical
as textbook, scenario and classroom learning come
together in one neat package.
What will SimAdviser include?
SimAdviser is constructed from evidence-based
resources including LWW textbooks and real-world
hospital reference systems, such as Lippincott’s
Nursing Procedures and Skills (LNPS). Each scenario
not only links to relevant pages within the textbook
but live procedures used by practicing nurses.
Scenarios also include an Overview, Assessment,
Diagnostic Test Results, Treatment, Nursing
Considerations, Associated Nursing Procedures,
Patient teaching, Resources and Selected Reference
sections.
How will SimAdviser help faculty?
SimAdviser helps faculty maximise limited time
within the Sim Lab by making sure students come
prepared and leave with a full understanding of the
‘why’ as well as the ‘how’. This not only promotes
evidence-based learning but supports reflective
practice as students reinforce what they have
learned in the lab with features such as ‘Nursing
Considerations’, ‘Discharge Planning’ and ‘Patient
Teaching’.
How does SimAdviser work with Laerdal
Simulations?
Content on the SimAdviser online platform is
organised according to the scenarios found in NLN
Vital Sims Volumes I and II. Users of NLN Vital Sims
