- Patient Handoff - End the scenario at any time
Unique, Personalised Learning
vSim for Nursing allows each student to have a different experience with the patient. By recording interactions throughout the patient care scenario, the personalised feedback log is generated, customised to the user experience, each time students repeat the scenario, they will receive a personal feedback log outlining their clinical reasoning choices.
