This virtual simulation game focuses on a virtual healthcare encounter between a nurse nursing student and a mother who just gave birth, working in primary care. The intended learners are undergraduate nursing students (years2-4) having knowledge of maternity nursing. This learning experience incorporates the BUBBLE mnemonic (Breast, Uterus, Bowels, Bladder, Lochia, Episiotomy/Laceration/C-Section Incision) method of performing a post-partum health assessment on a new mother within the first 4 hours of delivery.

Demonstrate competence in assessing a new mother on admission to the postpartum unit to determine if complications or normal physiological states are present.
