Senior [nursing](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/nursing-department) students worked through a home hospice care scenario n our Nursing Simulation Lab. The scenario consisted of two parts. In part one, the team arrives to care for Erika, currently in home hospice whose understandably distraught sister has many concerns and questions. The team makes Erika comfortable and answers her sister's questions. In part two, Erika has passed and the team works through the process of disenrollment. Note - while two different teams are pictured, both teams worked through both part one & two. 

The Fitchburg State University [Nursing](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/nursing-department) Simulation Laboratory assists nursing students in learning critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in preparation for their healthcare careers. The “manikins”, or "actors" act as  patients. Fellow students watch as their classmates work through the simulation. All students and faculty debrief after the scenario.
