Evaluation/Reflection of vSim
Charlie Snow (Anaphylaxis)
Purpose: To develop critical thinking and reflection of practice using self-evaluation of one’s own
practice
Patient assignments for virtual clinical activities are to be treated as live patients; therefore, students
must demonstrate the ability to safely care for their virtual patients as if they were caring for them in
person. Virtual clinical activities need to be completed individually unless otherwise stated, including the
online activities and all associated paperwork. vSim paperwork is an individual assignment and must be
written in your own words (not copy/paste). "Turnitin" will be used, and similarity reports will be
analyzed for plagiarism.
Use the following documents to provide a detailed evaluation/reflection of your vSim performance.
