Virtual clinical excursions (VCE) is a workbook/CD-ROM package that accompanies many Elsevier nursing textbooks. The workbook guides users through Pacific View Regional Hospital, a virtual hospital setting, where one can learn communication, documentation, assessment, and safe medication administration. VCE offers a hands-on learning experience to help nurses improve both clinical judgement and critical thinking skills while interacting with a number of virtual patients.
