Ensure student confidence and competence
An interactive, personalized
simulation experience
Develop clinical reasoning skills, competence, and confidence
in nursing students through vSim for Nursing, co-developed
by Laerdal Medical and Wolters Kluwer. Designed to simulate real
nursing scenarios, vSim allows students to interact with
patients in a safe, realistic environment, available anytime,
anywhere.
Curriculum integration
Online, interactive virtual simulations with integrated curriculum
resources provide a full simulation learning experience for every
student. Students have access to suggested reading material
from trusted Wolters Kluwer sources, pre-simulation and postsimulation quizzes, documentation assignments that can be used
in Lippincott DocuCare, and guided reflection questions to
gauge student understanding of a scenario and support improved
competence through remediation.
Patient-centered care
Nursing students develop clinical reasoning skills by prioritizing
and implementing actions within several dimensions, including:
Safety Measures – Practice safe procedures
Communication – Interact with the patient through
questions that result in text and audio responses
Assessments – Conduct specific physical assessments
Interventions – Take action with the patient to improve
their health status
Drugs & IV Management – Administer medications
according to provider orders
Tests & Diagnostics – Perform lab or diagnostic tests to
support clinical decisions
Measure student success
Create classes and monitor student results by viewing
pre-simulation and post-simulation quiz data and student
feedback logs.

Unique, personalized learning
vSim for Nursing allows each student to have a different
experience with the patient. By recording student interactions
throughout the patient care scenario, a personalized feedback
log is generated, customized to the user experience. Each time
students repeat the scenario, they will receive a personal feedback
log outlining their clinical reasoning decisions.
Real-world, evidence-based
scenarios
vSim for Nursing will be available for the core nursing
curriculum. vSim for Nursing | Pharmacology
