Nursing Simulation Laboratory; Respiratory Distress

Posted by Andy Cunningham on November 21, 2024 at 12:45 PM

Our nursing students were immersed in a respiratory distress scenario for a pediatric patient. The understandably upset mom was played by Nursing Program Professor Deborah Benes. 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.
