About Virtual Clinical Excursions for Maternity and Women's Health Care
This innovative CD-ROM/workbook package immerses nursing students in a virtual hospital setting focused on maternity and women's health. Users interact with a variety of patients across three 45-minute care periods within a 12-hour shift, gaining hands-on experience with documentation, communication, prioritization, medication safety, critical thinking, patient education, and care planning. Real-world scenarios challenge learners to set priorities, collect and interpret data, and reach conclusions about complex problems. The software includes charts, medication administration records, electronic patient records, video clips of nurse-client interactions, and clinical alerts that highlight changes in patient condition. With over 250 NCLEX-style questions based on the VCE patients, this workbook reinforces physical assessment skills—vital signs and head-to-toe examinations—and helps students understand hospital information systems, manage information for decision-making, and improve core computing skills, making the transition from student to caregiver smoother.
