  • How do I get access to any of these simulations?
    Our simulations are sold as an access code that unlocks online content. You can purchase these codes if they are required by your instructor from your participating campus bookstore or online retailer. After you've purchased your code, but before you can redeem it, you'll need to find out a few key pieces of information from your instructor.
    • First, go to evolve.elsevier.com, log in to your student account.
    • If you do not have an Evolve account, create one using the email address used by your LMS provider.
    • If your instructor enrolled you in their digital course themselves, they will provide you with a course URL to redeem your code.
    • If you need to "self-enroll" on Evolve, you'll need the instructor's "course id#," so you can be linked up properly to his or her course.
    • For further assistance visit: https://service.elsevier.com/app/overview/evolve/.
  • What do I do if I'm stuck and need more help?
    You can learn more about redeeming an access code for SLS on the Simulation page of this site. Or, please visit our online technical support center at Technical Support Center to access self-service options, chat with a live representative, or call us at 1-800-222-9570.
  • What is Elsevier’s Simulation Learning System (SLS) for RN with VR?

With more than 100 unique scenarios, our Virtual Reality (VR) Simulation Learning System (SLS) offers an exciting opportunity for clinical experience in a realistic, immersive, and safe virtual reality environment, without the need for additional space, expensive manikins, or large sim labs! SLS simulations are meant to be facilitated in a simulation lab or in virtual reality, led by your instructor. Simulation content may be hidden in your SLS with VR course until your instructor assigns it to you.
  • What is Elsevier’s Simulation Learning System (SLS)?
    Simulation Learning System or SLS integrates simulation technology into your course by providing realistic scenarios and supportive learning resources that correspond to many different Elsevier textbooks. Simulation with the SLS is a complete learning experience that bridges the gap between lecture and clinical to prepare you for the real world.
  • What is Shadow Health®?
    Shadow Health® is a realistic screen-based simulation that allows you to practice the skills you need to care for your patients in a safe and standardized environment.
