Our [nursing](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/nursing-department) students were immersed in a respiratory distress scenario for a pediatric patient. The understandably upset mom was played by [Nursing Program](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-schools/school-health-and-natural-sciences/nursing-department) Professor [Deborah Benes](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/deborah-benes). Our [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” 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.
