vrClinicals for Nursing is a unique, VR solution that engages students with a realistic, busy hospital environment.

Hospital discharge can be one of the highest risk steps in a patient's care. When discharged, the patient is often handed over to the care of others who may be poorly equipped to deal with a cardiac emergency if one should arise.

In nursing schools, where there is an almost unanimous burden to do more with less, peer-to-peer learning has been an emerging trend. Peer-to-peer learning, sometimes referred to as peer teaching or peer mentoring, involves learners in a similar situation learning from and with each other through their interactions. In this article, we highlight how this educational approach can help you to more effectively train new nurses.

Low-fidelity simulation can provide learners with a wealth of training experience – at minimal expense. Learn three ways that you can use low-fidelity simulation training to reduce preventable harm to maternal and newborn patients.

Sepsis, the body's extreme and life-threatening response to an infection, can lead to septic shock, multiple organ failure, and death if not recognized early and managed promptly.

World Prematurity day is intended to raise awareness about preterm babies around the world. According to the World Health Organization, every year, an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm. That’s 1 in 10 babies. Preterm birth complications are the leading cause of death among children under 5 years of age, worldwide.

Simulation is often used as a blanket term, not allowing for nuances in the training modalities and learning objectives. The reality is that simulation can be adapted to many different styles, needs, and expectations. In labor and delivery departments, where two patients means double the risk, hybrid simulation (probably the most frequently overlooked modality) is worth considering.

Achieving student engagement is a fundamental challenge in any form of education, especially when the student is a beginner or is someone refreshing their skills. If you are an instructor in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), you've likely struggled to keep people engaged - especially when teaching laypeople.

Learners are firmly rooted in digital media and they prefer to interact with material in a way that feels familiar. For this reason, eLearning has become a leading learning method to increase classroom engagement and retention.

Sponsored by the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, Healthcare Simulation Week celebrates the professionals who improve the safety, effectiveness and quality of healthcare services every day. This is our shout-out to those who serve in the many roles in simulation, including simulation technicians, coordinators, educators, preceptors and, of course, the learners themselves.

Simulation training can enable healthcare providers to accurately diagnose and treat sepsis. Using simulation scenarios to learn to identify standard and severe sepsis, to recognize sepsis in high-risk patients, to differentiate between sepsis and other conditions, and to assess and treat septic shock are among some of the learning objectives for simulation training.
