of both the teacher and the student (Billings & Halstead, 2012). The use of simulation and case study are the two different teaching strategies chosen for the care of a patient with post-operative wound infection. Simulation is a technique by which the learners are exposed to real-life scenarios in a safe, context-rich experiential learning environment (National League for Nursing [NLN], 2015). Whereas, using a case study the learners can apply the didactic content and theory to a real life situation
identified the purpose of the study along with identifying the reason for the study. According to Powell-Laney (2010) there is a lack of evidence to support the use of simulation technology to teach clinical decision-making in nursing students thus Powell-Laney designed a study to ascertain whether the use of simulation technology in nursing education can increase the clinical decision making ability of nursing students (p. 6). Furthermore, Powell-Laney (2010) states that simulation technology is expensive
inexperienced nurses. Rationale for Change, Quality Improvement, or Innovation The need for the change and the improvement is for the safety of the nurses and the patients. The innovation that will be incorporated to the current orientation will be simulation. This innovation will help new grads and new hires to the emergency department, gain
Simulation is an great teaching system for skills especially for critical care nursing. Learning is mostly achieved when the environment is participative and engaging. Simulation in nursing school requires learners to think though data and information and come to a conclusion or predict an outcome. Most importantly it gives learners immediate feedback. Caring and monitoring of a critically ill patient requires student nurses to collect, analyze, and react to data and information. The case studies
Simulation in Nursing Education: A Literature Review Teachers are champions of learning. They work endlessly to push students to succeed and grow. They teach them to be better readers, writers, mathematicians, scientist, historians and artists. Teachers are constantly evaluating what they can do to help their students learn and to achieve personal goals, life goals, and become productive members of society. However, not all learners have the same learning style and not all teachers have the same
Simulation-based nursing education is an increasingly popular academic approach. Structured facilitated debriefing is an important strategy to engage students in learning and is essential in simulation training. Further research is warranted to fully understand the impact of the method in nurse education. It provides students with opportunities to practice their clinical and decision-making skills through various real-life situational experiences. However, simulation approaches fall along a scale
clinical simulation in nursing and is entitled as Effect of Electronic Interactive Simulation on Senior Bachelor of Science in Nursing Students' Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment. The method used for the study is a randomized controlled trial and the study b compared the effects of an electronic interactive simulation (EIS) to traditional paper case study simulation on the critical thinking disposition and clinical judgment skills of participants those, are senior baccalaureate nursing students
states that the study was “designed to evaluate the use of a quantitative instrument to measure caring in the nursing simulation environment.” This question is consistent with the problem statement of evaluating the correlation between caring and nursing simulations. Ethical Considerations All participants in this study were fully aware that the study was to be scored. It is important to note that the students were also made mindful of the fact the caring scores generated during this study had no effect
technologies: simulation laboratory, virtual experience using Web 2.0 tools, and clinical information technology. Due to limited time, access, and money, I will use the “old fashioned” (you may consider omitting) simple rule of thumb for sample size instead of using the G*Power or other sample size calculating formulas. A typical rule of thumb for sample size is at least 10 cases per variable or 30 cases in a group (Saint-Germain, 2001). In this project, I will attempt to obtain at least 10 cases per variable
Simulation is a valuable tool in teaching pre-licensure nursing students. Simulated activities can be partial or full and range from low-fidelity to high-fidelity (Billings & Halstead, 2012, p. 354). An excellent example of low-fidelity, partial simulation would include nursing students using plastic model arms to imitate how to perform venipunctures (Billings & Halstead, 2012, p. 354). Conversely, METI HPS, a high-fidelity patient simulator, allows learners to communicate, hear body sounds, and
