Wolters Kluwer, Health, and Laerdal Medical launched vSim® for Nursing Advanced Medical-Surgical/Critical Care. This course is designed to prepare the next generation of nurses for the challenges of real-world practice. In addition, the critical care virtual training course would help address a lack of simulation content for advanced medical-surgical and critical care scenarios.
Co-developed by Laerdal Medical and Wolters Kluwer and written by the National League for Nursing, vSim for Nursing provides realistic, evidence-based scenarios. It has built-in point-of-care solutions for reference and remediation. vSim for Nursing Advanced Medical-Surgical/Critical Care is available as a standalone product or integrated as part of Lippincott CoursePoint+. Nurse educators also can remotely assign, monitor, and track students' skill levels and progress, staying closely involved in competency development.
The vSim for Nursing Advanced Medical-Surgical/Critical Care course offers students needed exposure to a wide array of populations, themes, and environments, such as the representation of nonbinary patients. Students experience caring for patients with comorbidities, including obesity and a secondary COVID-19 diagnosis. Students also learn about transmission-based safety precautions through an interactive mini-game. By focusing on challenging cases, the new course depicts complex clinical situations in a safe, highly realistic clinical environment. It empowers nursing students to hone their clinical judgment skills.
