Shock Room Virtual nursing simulation

Foundations of nursing practice

Shock Room: Virtual Nursing Simulation.

Assess. Recognize. Intervene. Reassess.

Build clinical confidence one decision at a time. Practice a structured approach to shock assessment and early nursing interventions in a safe, focused environment designed for first-semester nursing students.
