Geraldine Mason discusses the uses of simulation gaming in muse education and describes the development of a drug administration game

In recent years, nurse educators and clinicians have adapted many teaching strategies in the.* hope of encouraging creativity, helping in the development of critical and analytical thinking skills, and, most importantly, improving the application of nursing theory’ to practice among learner nurses. Of these strategies I became particularly interested in simulation gaming and I was concerned at the lack of such academic games available for paediatric nursing students.
