1. May 18-2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20071 Virtual Nursing Environment for Safe Decision Making Fatma Mili

2. May 17, 2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20072 The Problem Nursing Education  Academic subjects  Practical Training Practical Training Objectives  Gain familiarity with the environment  Practice theoretical knowledge gained  Gain experiential knowledge From NOAA web site

3. May 17, 2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20073 Challenges in Practical Training Trial and error in realistic environments not always doable. There is a very high cost to errors, therefore High standards and demands are placed on practical training The paradox of low frequency high acuity cases From Oregon State University web site

4. May 17, 2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20074 Low Frequency High Acuity cases Low frequency  low level of vigilance to them. Low frequency  may never occur in a realistic setting Low frequency  level of exposure of students to these cases low and uneven. From WWII US Marine Raiders web site

5. May 17, 2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20075 Examples of Low Frequency High Acuity Wrong dosage in prescription Switching prescriptions between patients Amputating the wrong leg Interaction between symptoms, medications, etc.

6. May 17, 2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20076 Proposed Project Develop a computer based tool that  Trains nursing students by exposing them to a wider range of scenarios  Tests nursing students’ decision making processes and provides them with feedback.

7. May 17, 2007Project Proposed for UnCoRe 20077 Proposed Approach Build a “find the error” system. Nursing students watch scenarios and react to them. Script is different depending on what student does.
