Effectively incorporate simulation into your nursing curriculum with Elsevier’s Simulation Learning System with Virtual Reality: Essentials, choosing to facilitate simulations in VR or in a traditional lab setting. SLS with Virtual Reality: Essentials includes over 160 lab-based simulation scenarios and, in collaboration with development partner SimX,features 30 immersive virtual reality simulation scenarios that will change the way students learn. Each simulation is accompanied by detailed instructions for preparation and implementation of the simulation experience, debriefing questions that encourage critical thinking, and learning resources to reinforce student comprehension. SLS with Virtual Reality: Essentials is a complete solution for enhancing the clinical decision-making skills of students at all levels by strengthening their classroom knowledge base, bridging the gap between lecture and clinicals, and offering remediation — all in an exciting and realistic virtual reality setting.
30 virtual reality simulation scenarios immerse students in an exciting, ultra-realistic clinical environment that provides a safe, effective, and engaging learning experience.
Easy-to-use facilitator software allows instructors to moderate students similarly to how they would in a traditional simulation lab with a wide array of dialogue responses and actions.
Students’ actions, decisions, and clinical judgment are reflected in the virtual environment as having real consequences on patient health, condition, and more.
Over 160 lab-based (hands-on) simulation scenarios include end-to-end guidance and activities to facilitate the simulation experience.
SLS with Virtual Reality: Essentials is a practical clinical simulation option that provides various ways to facilitate simulation in the lab or in VR, with the latter decreasing the need for simulation lab space, manikins, and other simulation equipment.
A robust EHR platform powered by SimChart®accompanies the scenario assets on the Evolve companion website, serving as an information resource and providing valuable electronic charting experience.
Skills drills give students additional opportunities to practice and master core skills and related documentation prior to simulation.
A comprehensive implementation module for each lab-based simulation scenario provides a framework for successfully incorporating simulation into the curriculum, with step-by-step instructions for preparation, implementation, debriefing, and remediation, including:
Staging instructions with detailed outlines for preparing the setting for each scenario
Algorithm quick card featuring a graphically represented protocol with defined guidelines to follow as the student progresses through a simulation scenario
Performance checklist with a comprehensive and detailed list of expected skills to be performed by the student, in a format that allows for evaluation during the scenario
Patient report supplied via script (either instructor-read or student-read) that allows the facilitator to choose how the student will receive patient information prior to simulation and encourages a realistic transfer of patient information for the nurse who will next assume responsibility of care
Patient response guide featuring scripted comments and questions for the facilitator to use on behalf of the patient during the scenario to encourage realistic nurse-patient communication in the simulated experience
Additional participant response guide providing background information for additional roles (e.g., family member, physician, nurse assistant), along with specific comments and questions that simulate realistic interactions and prompt nursing action
Participant role badges and a patient identity band
Observer evaluation rubric based on NCLEX® categories of client needs
Clinical decision support resources (such as Mosby’s Nursing Consult, Student Edition) in the EHR that mimic the resources students will use in practice
Debriefing/reflection guide for a structured and successful debriefing session
Guided discussion questions that facilitate collaborative evaluation and analysis of student performance, with corresponding remediation resources from Elsevier texts
Animations, skills videos, and audio clips for reviewing physiologic processes and nursing procedures
Answers and rationales, key points, page references, and reading assignments from the textbook
