Abstract:
It is easy to underestimate the complexity of nursing care. Child health nursing students are expected to apply theory to practice and gain competence in a variety of settings. The development of a virtual ward allows the nursing student to practise caring for a child with a fever in the safety of the student's home environment or computer laboratory using learning techniques that help them question their own awareness and the care they have witnessed in the clinical environment. This article explores the development of this simulation and the results of the student evaluation.
