This course and workbook are desgined to create a physical escape room - in either a classroom or simulation lab. I offer a video workshop on creating virtual escape rooms HERE.


6. what if I have zero active learning experience?

No worries! Building an escape room is an excellent first step in the active learning journey because it is so much fun! You will immediately see the effects and be inspired to continue to create interactive classroom activities.


7. All of this for $39? Are you sure?!?

Yes! My goal was to make this an easy decision because nursing education needs this NOW.
I want inspired and innovative instructors (that’s you!) to have this tool to improve our student’s clinical judgment, think critically and ultimately be stronger RNs.


Could I pull an escape room together on my own?

You could, but I am giving you a specific strategy. This course will give you a clear path to developing an escape room with useful puzzles in nursing education - things like priority setting, abnormal assessments, and patient teaching that are not found in most escape room websites or articles. And I’ve packaged it up in an easy-to-use format so you can have the activity ready by next semester.
