"Gaming" Games for Nursing subjects?

Specialties Educators

Published

Hello Everyone, 

I need the community's help.  I am a Registered Nurse and Educator working on my doctor of education degree.  I am taking a course on using commercially available games to teach concepts of nursing.  

Is there anyone out there that have used or seen video games that help with teaching a topic in nursing?  Looking for authentic "gaming" games - not educational games such as Jeopardy or Family Feud.  The example my instructor gave is using the game "Civilization" to teach a module in a history class.

Are there any gaming games out there that help with presenting your topics?  Thanks for any suggestions!

Over 30 years ago, we used a board game in a diploma school of nursing. I am not sure this is the one but it did have a title "Ghetto".
