Scenarios
Innov2Learn is proud to present 6 simulation scenarios designed BY and FOR the simulation community. Designed and written by experts from France, Switzerland, and Canada, these scenarios may be used freely by all teachers and other specialists for the purpose of training healthcare professionals.
Each of the scenarios emphasizes the development of clinical judgment and the interpersonal and technical skills that will be useful to your students in the field, and throughout their careers.
#1 – Mistaken identity
Simulation Device: Gluco III, Gluco III+, Gluco-MiniAs the day begins in the hospital's medical unit, a student nurse completes her morning rounds, administering medications to her assigned patients. While documenting the doses, she suddenly realizes a critical error: she has accidentally swapped the medications for two of her patients, Mrs. St-Denis, 68, and Mrs. Hacinda, 70.

Simulation Device: Thermo, Thermo+A 58-year-old man, unconscious and under the influence of alcohol, is rushed to the emergency room by pre-hospital emergency services. Found outside in -10°C weather, he’s suffering from accidental hypothermia with an initial body temperature of 33°C. The patient, who is homeless, has been placed in the shock room for immediate care.

Simulation Device: Thermo, Thermo+.Meet Madeleine St-Pierre, a 71-year-old patient living with chronic anemia. Thanks to a support treatment started a year ago, she’s able to manage her daily activities, although she requires a monthly blood transfusion at a day clinic to maintain her health.

Simulation Device: Gluco III, Gluco III+, Gluco-Mini.The workday begins at an outpatient clinic dedicated to supporting teenagers with type 1 diabetes. The nursing student starts by checking the blood glucose levels of their patient and quickly notices that her HbA1c levels have been elevated for the past three months. The simulation begins as the student meets the patient, Violet.

Simulation Device: Oxi, SpotV IIThe day starts in the Respiratory Division of the hospital’s medical unit, where Mr. Oliver, a 58-year-old patient, was admitted yesterday afternoon. He was brought in overnight by emergency services following respiratory decompensation due to COPD (Stage 2 – GOLD criteria + FEV), which was diagnosed two years ago and is currently under treatment.

Simulation Device: Oxi, SpotV IIIn the bustling emergency department of a teaching hospital, a nursing student begins their shift, tasked with caring for Mrs. Bolomey, who was brought in by ambulance earlier in the afternoon due to dyspnea and confusion. The simulation starts at 4:30 PM, as the student begins bedside rounds in the observation room, having reviewed Mrs. Bolomey’s chart beforehand.

Your tools are ready. Is your method?
At Innov2Learn, we provide you with the most realistic simulators on the market. But however good it is, a simulator will not have the impact you are looking for if the scenario is not clear, professional and credible. That is why we recommend Simulation en Bref.
Start with the free training.
In just a few lessons, you will walk away with:
-
Clear, credible scenarios built with a method rather than on instinct
-
A more confident facilitator stance, even when the session goes off in every direction
-
Learners who truly progress, thanks to effective debriefing
Simulation en Bref also offers online and in-person training, as well as tailored support to structure a complete simulation project.
