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 students' clinical judgment, think critically, and ultimately become 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.
