Virtual Clinical Excursions 3.0 for Wong's Essentials of Pediatric Nursing

By Marilyn J. Hockenberry, Marilyn Winkelstein, David M. Wilson

Book Overview

One of the most complete nursing education learning systems available, Virtual Clinical Excursions is an online program that guides you through a virtual hospital where the patients are real and their conditions are constantly changing. By immersing students in a realistic, yet safe, nursing environment, VCE simulates the average clinical rotation by allowing users to conduct a complete assessment of a patient and set priorities for care, collect information, 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 - providing a perfect environment to "practice" what you are learning.

Online workbook includes a set of lessons to prepare and guide you through a variety of patient scenarios, which are all connected to your textbook. Physical examination interactions include unique images and assessment findings for each patient scenario. Patient chart provides quick access to vital information such as physician's orders, laboratory reports, patient education, nursing admission, and more, offering a richly detailed portrait of the patient. Electronic patient record houses data from the patient's entire hospital stay and offers the ability to record new data findings. Nurse-client interaction videos depict conversations and situations involving nurses, patients, family members, and hospital staff to help you discern between communications that are ideal and those that need improvement. Updated drug reference includes a comprehensive set of the latest drug monographs to help you make the best clinical judgments involving medication administration. NEW Online format enables you to access Virtual Clinical Excursions from any PC or MAC with an internet connection. NEW Laboratory guide provides standard value ranges for all laboratory values offered within the virtual patient hospital, so you can confirm and compare standard lab values against your patients' test results.

My Peds book

The book came clean with no marks inside or out and was sent quickly. Thanks so much.

the pediatric nursing Bible

Ever since I became a nurse Wong's Pediatric Nursing has become the Bible for 'peds nurses'- always up to date and informative

Essentials of Pediatric Nursing

With the textbook of over 1200 pages to read and remember in 15 weeks, this study guide enables me to focus on the highlights of the chapters.

One of the best nursing texts this student has encountered so far ...

I've been through a lot of textbooks on my journey to and through nursing school, and Wong's Essentials is, without doubt, one of the very best! -- Thorough, concise, up to date ... I'm planing on keeping my copy around as a reference even after I've passed the NCLEX. I wish that I could say the same about most of the other nursing texts I've been assigned thus far.

WONG'S ESSENTIALS OF PEDS

Great book! I like the format. It is an "easy read" next to other text books. Very clear and concise. I had no problem find the information I needed for my PBL's (problem based learning) in this book. I have not used the EXCURSIONS program, but am anxious to use it. In glancing through the workbook, the computer program is set up like a hospital. You are given patients and must determine their treatment/care. The workbook has sections for you to work through. This is not a requirement for my program, but I think it will be an asset.
