Developing a Virtual Simulation Game for Nursing Resuscitation Education

Virtual simulation gaming (VSG), also known as educationally purposeful gaming, is a new and innovative teaching method which warrants further exploration. In 2018, researchers from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, created an innovative VSG depicting optimal nursing care for patients in cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular fibrillation. This educational tool was created in response to global calls for increased education in the field of resuscitation science. This VSG complements a growing collection of educational games created by CAN-Sim(C) to best help students and experienced learners meet their educational goals.
