Abstract

Faculty teaching an Adult Health Nursing course developed a serious game to engage students in a classroom setting. As an exam review, the game incorporated multiple diseases and topics that were discussed prior to the exam. Pre-post tests using next generation NCLEX-RN questions evaluated the effectiveness of the serious game.
