1. Reinforce learning through repetition

vSim® provides repeated practice opportunities, allowing students to refine their abilities over time. This repetition improves retention and ensures students are confident when translating knowledge into action.


2. Deliver valuable feedback

With pre- and post-simulation quizzes, educators can pinpoint where students need support. Real-time feedback allows instructors to adjust teaching priorities and offer targeted guidance to strengthen clinical reasoning.


3. Introduce complexity step by step

Scaffold learning by starting with straightforward scenarios and advancing to complex, high-pressure situations. vSim® allows educators to expose students to diverse challenges like co-morbidities and care prioritization.


4. Foster individualized growth

Each student’s interaction with vSim® is unique. Personalized decision logs highlight areas for improvement, making them accountable for their own learning while giving educators key insights to guide progress.


5. Immerse students in patient-centered stories

vSim® transforms lessons into dynamic patient stories, engaging students with realistic details. These rich narratives train them to notice subtle cues and develop the critical thinking skills needed for patient care.


6. Connect theory to hands-on practice

Pair vSim® scenarios with simulation lab exercises to bridge cognitive and psychomotor skills. This blended approach ensures students are prepared to apply what they’ve learned in clinical practice.


7. Bring evidence-based practice to life

Each simulation draws from real-world scenarios endorsed by nursing professionals. Evidence-based resources guide students in decision-making, and post-simulation debriefs allow reflection on best practices.


8. Flip the learning experience

Using vSim® before classes or labs enables students to arrive prepared and ready to engage. This frees up time for hands-on learning, making every interaction more valuable.


9. Teach the impact of decision-making

vSim® shows students the immediate effects of their actions, helping them build strong time management and decision-making skills in a safe environment. They learn to prioritize tasks and recover from mistakes.


10. Enhance curriculum with diverse experiences

From Pediatrics to Gerontology, vSim® spans clinical scenarios across the lifespan. This exposure ensures students experience the depth and breadth of nursing practice, equipping them to make sound clinical judgments.


vSim®, part of Lippincott CoursePoint+, supports educators in shaping confident, practice-ready nurses. By combining clinical judgment development with purposeful teaching strategies, it empowers students to thrive in the real world.
