Virtual Clinical Excursions 3.0 for Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Nursing (9 Rev ed)

One of the most complete nursing education learning systems available, "Virtual Clinical Excursions" guides you through a virtual hospital setting where the patients are real and their conditions are constantly changing.

By immersing yourself in a realistic, yet safe, nursing environment, "VCE" allows you to get acclimated to the routine and rigors of the average clinical rotation where you can conduct a complete assessment of a patient and set priorities for care, collect data, analyze and interpret data, prepare and administer medications, and reach conclusions about complex problems.Each lesson has a textbook reading assignment and activities based on visiting the patients in the hospital, which provide a perfect environment in which you may practice what you are learning.

The CD-ROM uses streaming videos to represent patients just as you would see them in a hospital setting and gives you access to highly detailed patient records including charts, medication administration records, a Kardex-type plan of care, a drug guide, and an extensive electronic patient record system that has data for each client from the time of their admission throughout their simulation.
