The patient consulted their attending physician after experiencing an episode of fatigue, and then required blood tests. You have just begun your shift at the blood sample laboratory and the patient comes to see you for a venipuncture.

Interventional radiology: a port insertion for chemotherapy treatment

Following a fall on the ice, Ms. Robert goes to the emergency room where, after certain tests, she is diagnosed with a hip fracture. After preoperative preparation, the patient leaves for the operating room. Back in her room after her total hip replacement surgery, the patient refuses to move and develops leg pain after a […]

In this scenario, learners will care for an older adult who has had surgery to repair a fractured hip. Learners will identify risk factors and choose priority assessments to complete, evaluate findings and determine which findings require further investigation or intervention. The simulation will take place over several hours during a day shift on an […]

The learner simulation scenario is that an EMS crew has been dispatched to an industrial site boiler room for a man with facial burns in respiratory distress. The view of the rooms will have “hotspots” in which you will be able to place your cursor over to reveal the decision options. Every scene may have […]

This maternal/child resource is aimed to support learning for the undergraduate nursing student in any nursing program. The simulation is intended to promote the development of clinical judgement skills through a safe learning environment. The virtual simulation is for students to practice and reflect on newborn assessments while critically analyzing the scenario and completing a […]

This template is a generic and comprehensive guide for the development and documentation of simulation scenarios. It is intended to be applicable to any profession (including interprofessional scenarios), any healthcare field, and for most simulation modalities. Members of the Simulation Canada community produced it following a review of the literature on best practices in scenario […]

This scenario is intended for learners to assess and intervene for a patient experiencing an exacerbation of COPD. This scenario is based on evidence practice guidelines from the Ontario Ministry of Health and RNAO.

The Simulation Session Booking and Planning Form is useful for simulation centre co-coordinators to find out about the learning objectives of the simulation session that an instructor would like to create, and to acquire basic logistics information such as type of participants, number of participants, length of simulation, etc. It can be e-mailed to the […]

This scenario was developed to enhance the learning experience of the RPN student during semester 3 lab related to Blood Administration. The focus is to recognize signs and symptoms of blood transfusion reactions, react approptriately to manage event while using effective communication. The students are first briefed using a worksheet that includes important patient information: […]
