After going over the scenario and treatment, teams of our second-year Nursing students entered the Nursing Simulation Laboratory patient room where they worked through a diabetes patient scenario. The student nurses assessed, took vitals, administered medications, and checked the patients wound.
Our Nursing Simulation Laboratory assists nursing students in learning critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in preparation for their healthcare careers. The “manikins” act as lifelike patient simulators, wherein instructors provide real-time feedback via a control center, giving students as close to real-life simulation as possible. Fellow students watch as their classmates work through the simulation. All students and faculty debrief after the scenario.
