Virtual Clinical Excursions Pacific View Regional Hospital is a groundbreaking workbook/CD-ROM package that brings learning to life in a "virtual" hospital setting. This guided learning experience features textbook reading assignments that correspond with the CD-ROM and workbook activities. The workbook acts as a map, guiding students through the virtual hospital as they care for patients in the virtual hospital to help students make connections between what they experience through the CD-ROM and what they've learned in their textbook. Each virtual hospital visit allows the student to access realistic information resources essential to patient care resulting in a true-to-life, hands-on learning experience. . Real-world nursing scenarios challenge students to set priorities for care, collect data, analyze and interpret data, and reach conclusions about complex problems within a health-illness transition . The highly engaging format encourages active learning and provides opportunities for students to collect and process data for evidence-based patient care; work with data entry and retrieval screens; access available information resources; understand hospital information systems; manage information for decision-making; and maintain and improve their core computing skills. . The realistic environment gives students the opportunity to monitor and care for one or more patients during three 45-minute periods of care within a 12-hour shift. .
