These experiential learning rooms create an inviting learning environment for both the academic and acute care learner. Learners are placed in strategic cooperative learning groups to promote teamwork, collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Participation in an escape room can be used to reinforce policies and procedures that are standard in nursing practice.
