Assignment
Case Study from Chapter 20's online course materials: Nursing Informatics and Nursing Education (first half only, paragraph 1 in reference to Victoria).
For years, Victoria has been torn between the desire to practice nursing in the vibrant,metropolitan city, or in her peaceful, mountainous hometown in the country with her family.
She wonders how the two experiences differ. How do the demands differ? How does the technology differ?
To learn more about these differences, she explores a variety of education scenarios, including computer-based virtual reality, simulations, and real life scenarios in both urban and rural settings.
How do you think the demands and technologies differ? How can virtual reality, simulations, and real life scenarios be designed to provide optimal education for nursing students?
How might they be integrated into the nursing school curriculum to increase patient, practitioner, and hospital safety?
To access the case study, log into the textbook's online course materials. Below the Home tab, you will find the Student Resources section. Select Case Studies and open the case study for Chapter 20.
