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.

Simulation Scenarios for Nurse Educators: Making it Real

Simulation Scenarios for Nurse Educators: Making it Real Review



Designated a Doody's Core Title!



"Once you begin to read the book, you will not be able to put it down. [An] excellent guide for nursing faculty just getting started with simulations or faculty who are already using this pedagogy."

Pamela R. Jeffries, DNS, RN, FAAN, ANEF
Associate Dean, Indiana University School of Nursing

Computerized patient simulation is an exciting and innovative pedagogical method that allows nurse educators to prepare student nurses for the challenges of clinical practice. This book serves as a step-by-step guide to designing and developing simulated scenarios, and integrating them into nursing curriculums. The authors provide concrete information about the use of simulation in a variety of programs, courses, and schools with flexible simulator uses, including live actors and static mannequins.

This book also provides options for building a learning resource center, and offers guidance on faculty development. Additionally, the contributors present 17 exemplars of actual scenarios in multiple clinical areas, as well as testimonies of practicing faculty.

Key Features:

  • Numerous checklists, including health communication checklists, evaluation criteria checklists to assess student performance, and debriefing guidelines
  • Forms to enhance the realness of the scenario, such as patient data forms, patient medication forms, and assessment tools
  • Suggested readings, lists of skills necessary for scenario enactment, and websites for further research This book will encourage the development of critical thinking, reasoning, and judgment, and help to create a new generation of caring, competent, and confident practitioners.
