Clinical Simulations for Nursing Education: Learner Volume

Clinical Simulations for Nursing Education: Learner Volume Review



Build clinical confidence! Help your students develop the critical assessment, clinical reasoning, and nursing care skills they need to deliver and practice safe and effective patient care. 51 structured simulation scenarios, designed to be used in conjunction with the Instructor Volume, let them apply the nursing process in a controlled, risk-free environment. Each realistic, patient-care simulation focuses on a defined clinical domain, critical knowledge and skills, levels of competency, evidenced-based practice guidelines, National Patient Safety Goals, and research-based design characteristics. Students can record their reflections at the end of each simulation to enhance self-awareness and develop insights into the patient care delivery process.

High-Fidelity Patient Simulation in Nursing Education

High-Fidelity Patient Simulation in Nursing Education Review



High Fidelity Patient Simulation in Nursing Education is a comprehensive guide to developing and implementing a high-fidelity patient simulation in a clinical setting. It is a necessary primer for administrators and nursing programs starting out with this technology. It includes examples for setting up a simulator program for nurses, developing and implementing this technology into particular clinical and laboratory courses, and setting up refresher courses in hospital settings. The text also features appendices and case scenarios.

SIMULATION SCENARIOS FOR NURSING EDUCATION, 1E is a unique and innovative resource for incorporating simulation scenarios into both an LPN/LVN and RN nursing curriculum. This book contains ten pre-written scenarios for use with any simulation device in any simulation lab. The student work text provides all necessary information needed by students for simulation preparation and completion, as well as a case study to encourage critical thinking. Each dynamic scenario provides goals/objectives, patient data, instruction on simulation preparation, a list of patient medications and the simulation scenario with student simulation roles and a grading rubric. The fully loaded INSTRUCTOR'S RESOURCE TO ACCOMPANY SIMULATION SCENARIOS FOR NURSING EDUCATION, 1E starts with a comprehensive first chapter outlining the benefits of simulation, in addition to detailed information on how to assemble a simulation environment, needed supplies for lab development and information on how to conduct a simulation exercise. For each scenario a grading grid is provided (also included on the accompanying CD-ROM for download), along with patient ID band, medication labels, grading information, and everything needed to evaluate student performance during the simulation. Added features include a basic simulation lab supply list, a human patient simulator confidentiality agreement and sample nurses notes/physician order sheets. Each scenario is presented separately for the LPN/LVN student and the RN student, with accompanying instructor resources.

Human Simulation for Nursing and Health Professions

Human Simulation for Nursing and Health Professions Review



"Today there is an explosion in the use of simulation in nursing and health professions education. The contributors to this text are experts in this format of teaching. They are the designers of the learning spaces, the authors of simulation cases and evaluation methods, the experts who program the human patient simulators and who teach the patient actors to enact the clinical scenarios I consider this a "handbook" on the design, evaluation and practice of simulation for clinical education. If you are a faculty member with concerns about how your students will make the transition from student to professional, use simulation in your curriculum and learn for yourself that pretending is simulation for life but simulation is pretending for the delivery of exquisite clinical care."

Human simulation is changing the face of clinical education in the health professions. Its use has expanded beyond medical school to encompass nursing and mental health clinical education. This comprehensive guide to establishing and managing a human simulation lab has been written by nationally acclaimed simulation experts and is geared for undergraduate, graduate, and professional settings.

The text takes the reader step-by-step through the process of planning, organizing, implementing, and maintaining a simulation lab. It describes the required technology, how to train standardized patients, how to implement a simulation, evaluation and analysis of the simulation experience, and how to develop a business plan. The guide details simulation in undergraduate and graduate nursing programs, physician's assistant programs, and mental health education, as well as the use of simulation with critically ill patients, and in perioperative, perianasthesia, women's health, and rehabilitation science settings.

Key Features:

  • Offers a blueprint for developing, implementing, and managing a human simulation lab
  • Details use of simulation in numerous nursing and mental health settings along with case studies
  • Provides tools for evaluation and analysis of the simulation experience
  • Presents undergraduate and graduate nursing simulation scenarios and pedagogical strategies
  • Discusses simulation training and required technology
  • Includes templates for writing cases for BSN and MSN levels
