Abstract

Comprehensive psychiatric clinical experiences for pre-licensure nursing students can be achieved through the incorporation of multiple, content specific, virtually simulated mental health scenarios. The virtual simulations also provide a quantitative method to assess student achievement allowing for readily identifiable areas of individual strengths and weaknesses.

A new direction: Psychiatric virtual simulations to provide comprehensive clinical experiences

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

Comprehensive psychiatric clinical experiences for pre-licensure nursing students can be achieved through the incorporation of multiple, content specific, virtually simulated mental health scenarios. The virtual simulations also provide a quantitative method to assess student achievement allowing for readily identifiable areas of individual strengths and weaknesses.
