What is ShadowHealth? An interactive virtual online platform Encourage students to practice learned classroom and lab skills Reinforces material and supplements learning activities Engages students in a safe virtual simulation setting and allows for student errors and bolsters comprehension As nursing faculty, one of the issues we run into is limited class time with a lot of material Caught between powerpoint teaching and engaging students in the classroom with limited time and resources Wellness and Health Assessment is one the foundational courses that nursing students need to master to function as a nurse. The course teaches about health, assessment, health history, and the nursing process. In the classroom, material and concepts are reinforced, while the lab time is meant for hands on learning of the skills for mastery. Students outside the classroom need to have continuous guidance and instruction on skills reinforcement rather than a once a week session. As instructors, we found students needed to have continual reinforcement of concepts and hands on practice in order to be proficient in their skills and critical thinking pathway. Shadow health allows for this solution.
