Virtual Clinical Excurcions Fundamentals in Nursing

I have used some chapters so far and it looks okay. Some questions on there was hard to answer because we were using a different textbook in our class. And the VCE was just a supplement. Overall, the excursions were interesting and good exercise.

Good clinical supplement

These VCE manuals enhance the clinical experience for my remedial students and work well as clinical make-up, in a pinch. I have purchased a copy to supplement the textbooks for each of their courses.
