Build your students confidence about entering the clinical setting... Virtual Clinical Excursions (VCE) is an innovative CD-ROM/workbook package that makes textbook learning come alive and diminishes student anxiety about entering the clinical setting. VCE helps bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world by teaching students about clinical settings and critical thinking before they actually start clinical rotations — making the transition from nursing student to caregiver a smoother process. VCE follows a unique Learning Triad Model — one of the most complete teaching–learning systems available for nursing education. It combines clinical simulations, the classroom textbook, and workbook activities in a way that fosters a deeper understanding of how content and skills translate into effective practice.
