The Creation of Virtual Simulation Games (VSG’s) as Experiential Education for Students in Clinical Nursing Courses

Description

This project will create sustainable and accessible virtual simulation games (VSG’s) for use within the undergraduate nursing curriculum. The VSG’s developed will integrate current nursing practice and theory, which will be used to support curricular concepts. These VSG’s will present virtual client narratives and clinical situations for nursing students to safely and confidently experience situations that may not be experienced in placements.

Simulated learning will be used alongside other EE opportunities; laboratory or practicum, knowledge integration and practice application, critical thinking, clinical decision making and NCLEX scores. Learning with VSG’s aligns with the learning styles of Millennials and Generation Z, as they are familiar with gaming and accustomed to receiving instant feedback.
