16.  “To replicate some or nearly all of the essential aspects of a clinical situation so that the situation can be more readily understood and managed when it occurs for real in clinical practice” (Morton, 1995, p. 76)

17. Simulation is a TEACHING STRATEGY used to provide REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES in a SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

18. NLN (Jefferies, 2005) NLN Simulation Model

19.  Safe practice of high risk low frequency skills  Students can make mistakes without compromising patient safety (Decker, Sportsman, Puetz et al. 2008)

20. Why use simulation based education?  Engages student in active learning  Active learning improves knowledge retention (Johnson et al., 1999)

21. Why use simulation based education?  Self Reflection  Promotes critical analysis of self with regards to clinical nursing skills (Jefferies, 2005)

22. Why use simulation based education?  Team Building (McCausland, Curran, & Cataldi, 2004)  Sharing knowledge & collaborating with peers

24.  Resume Builder  Research Opportunities  Exciting Opportunity to Enhance Current Teaching Practices

25.  Recruiting Tool  Prepares Baccalaureate Generalist  Integrates 5/9 Essentials for Baccalaureate Education Outlined by CCNE  II – Patient Safety  III – Evidence Based Practice  IV – Application of Patient Care Technology  VI – Collaboration  !X – Baccalaureate Generalist Nursing Practice

26.  Evidence Synthesis  Laschinger et al. 2008  23 studies  Aim: To review the evidence on the effectiveness of simulation in the professional education of health care providers.

27.  Results  High learner satisfaction with simulation  High fidelity simulators are useful for teaching high acuity skills.  Gains in knowledge are short term, performance will decline over time.

28.  Conclusions:  Simulation should be used as an adjunct not replacement for clinical practice.  Students enjoy simulation and feel it makes learning easier.  More research is needed to evaluate skills acquisition using simulation as a teaching methodology.

29. Reflects 2010 Vision & Strategic Priorities

30.  Objectives  Fidelity  Problem Solving  Student Support  Debriefing (Jeffries and Rogers, 2007)

31.  Reflect the intended outcome of the experience.  Specify the expected learning behaviors.  Provided details to the learner regarding the expectation of the learning experience.

32. Technology Does Not Drive the Simulation Experience

33.  Low  Static equipment for skill attainment.

34.  High  Complex situation replicating real life

35.  Scenario should be challenging but obtainable  Provide opportunities to:  Prioritize nursing assessment  Provide nursing care based on assessment  Self Evaluate

36.  Cues provided to direct assessment and nursing care during simulation:  Verbal  Lab Reports  Phone Calls  Simulator Programming  Cue Card for other participants

37.  Focus  Learning outcome  Application of concepts  Faculty Role  Facilitator

38.  Goals  Self assessment :  Nursing Actions  Decisions  Communication Techniques  Ability to deal with unexpected ( See Handout )

39.  Determines:  Effectiveness of simulation experience  Student Learning  Student Satisfaction with Teaching Strategy

40.  Schedule the simulation with skills lab coordinator & course coordinators.  Create scenario or utilize standardized scenarios  Determine Equipment/Props needed  Wigs, Tattoos, Odors, Wounds, etc.

41.  Determine what the student will need to do to prepare for the simulation  Test-run scenario prior to student engagement  Conduct Scenario  Debriefing

42.  Enhance Clinical Experience  Pre-Clinical Performance Assessment  Student Exposure to Low Frequency Scenarios  Application of Theory to Practice in Classroom  Every Clinical Group Will Rotate Through the Simulation Lab

43.  Business Plan  Policies/Procedures & Infrastructure  Faculty Development: On-Going  Support for Faculty Research  Curriculum Development
