Replacement Guides

CLINICAL HOUR REPLACEMENT MADE EASY

Your need to replace lost clinical time with quality, computer-based practice hasn’t lessened — nor has your need to comply with state board requirements. With comprehensive clinical-replacement lesson-planning tools, you are guided through how, when, and where to use your ATI clinical-replacement solutions. These complimentary lesson-planning guides — created by ATI’s expert nurse educators — do the heavy lifting for you. They align components such as sample learning objectives, suggested pre-briefing and debriefing prompts, activity assignments, and more than 500+ RN and 400+ PN hours of clinical-replacement activities. Whether you need an immersive clinical day simulation that uses many different ATI solutions or a quick, standardized clinical-replacement activity for a single ATI solution, you’ll have the guidance you need to ease all aspects of the process.

*VCRs and OCPs have been developed to facilitate integration of simulation-based learning experiences into the curriculum for nursing programs who are responding to a lack of clinical facility access, insufficient clinical learning opportunities, or flexibility in achieving clinical outcomes. Educators should consider accreditation requirements, regulatory guidelines, and program-specific student learning outcomes, competencies, and evaluation measures when choosing simulation-based learning experiences for clinical supplement or replacement. Stated hours are approximate and based on completing all lesson plan activities as directed.
