The Canadian Neighbourhood, Version 1.0 -- Standalone Access Card 12 Months

Developed for students in the BScN nursing program, The Canadian Neighbourhood provides a longitudinal case study in a virtual environment with immersive stories of engaging characters and situations. Like a TV program, The Canadian Neighbourhood presents storylines of people, which unfold over three seasons.  Set in a fictitious community that could be any urban centre in Canada, this online program features a diverse roster of 37 characters, and presents examples of the most prevalent disorders.  The characters' interrelated stories show the interactions of nurses and other healthcare providers, and clients and their families.  Videos, photos, medical records, and narrative highlight the circumstances that affect the health of community members. The Canadian Neighbourhood helps student nurses gain an appreciation that their clients are people with lives outside of the healthcare setting.  This online program helps students connect concepts to clinical experience.   To learn more, please visit The Canadian Neighbourhood website at http://www.thecanadianneighbourhood.ca.
