Vital Simulations Supports National Nurses Week

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN, May 06, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- VitalSims announced its support for National Nurses Week by providing nurses nationwide with complimentary access to their award winning online simulated patient safety and adverse events training complete with ANCC credit.

"We would like to join the American Nurses Association in honoring nursing's contribution to collaboration and safety in healthcare.," said David Wrightsman, CEO of VitalSims. "We feel as though our patient safety and adverse event training modules are most relevant with the culture of safety which surrounds National Nurses Week," he added.

National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale's birthday. These permanent dates enhance planning and position National Nurses Week as an established recognition event. As of 1998, May 8th was designated as National Student Nurses Day, to be celebrated annually. And as of 2003, National School Nurse Day is celebrated on the Wednesday within National Nurses Week each year.

VitalSims will provide their Falls Prevention Modules which are accredited for up to 3.0 ANCC contact hours to nurses across the country. These animated nurse-patient interactions, patient room and hallway scenarios evaluate knowledge and skills to identify relevant patient EMR factors that create patient fall risk. These simulated and virtual training modules retail for $59.99 but will be provided at no charge for nurses that visit www.vitalsims.com/nurses during National Nurses Week.

VitalSims collaborates, develops and distributes online accelerated learning technology commonly described as a flight simulator for healthcare, which assess and validate skills, knowledge and decision making in a safe environment that is applicable for use in professional education and health system workforce development. Their learning simulations have been proven to improve patient outcomes and have a positive impact on health care economics. These accredited educational simulations have been developed as an online resource which affords rapid deployment across integrated delivery networks, health systems and schools of medicine at a moment's notice and allow learners to access on their laptop, smartphone or tablet device.
