High-Fidelity Patient Simulation

Last week, I participated in a 2-day training for the Laerdal high-fidelity human simulator.  Late Saturday afternoon, our workgroup assisted DB to prepare a scenario for one of the med-surg classes.  Besides being able to share accurate information regarding simulation in the textbook, I also wanted to explore the use of simulation in courses that I teach and to develop some scenarios myself.

Clearly, I will have to practice what I teach and PRACTICE my learning :-)!  That is okay.  This weekend I explored the NLN (National League for Nursing) SIRC (Simulation Innovation Resource Center) website.  The GC School of Nursing has purchased Volumes I & II of the NLN materials. I was pleased to note that NLN is also posting resources developed by other faculty members at no charge.  As an example, Cynthia Reese, faculty at Lincoln Land Community College, developed four geriatric scenarios.  The scenario involve an 84-year old widow.  The scenarios, audio files, scripts, and debrief resources can be downloaded from http://www.nln.org/facultydevelopment/facultyresources/ACES/millie.htm

On a separate website, there is a scenario for massive pulmonary embolus and PEA (Pulseless Electrical Activity) at http://www.rhodeislandhospital.org/rih/services/simctr/training/modules/uss-case-1.pdf

Other resources that can be used to design the scenes for simulation training can be obtained from the Pocket Nurse website at http://www.pocketnurse.com/
