Simulation Lab Report: Veterans Hospital

This simulation experience allowed me to practice my focused assessment skills, delegation of tasks, prioritization on of tasks, interdisciplinary communication skills, and skills that I have not been able to participate in such as blood administration. I learned that my strengths are patient education, delegation, noticing changes in patient condition, and working as a member of a team. I need to improve my speed of completing tasks, my confidence, and my process of working through new skills.

The simulation environment offers a safe place for students to practice critical scenarios and gain confidence in proscribed settings (Decker, Sportsman, Puetz, & Billings, 2008). Simulation helps faculty to facilitate learning which meets one of the NLN’s core competencies. Simulation also enhances communication through emerging leadership and delegation skills, and builds teamwork through goal and priority setting (Dillon, Noble, & Kaplan, 2009). Therefore, according to Lasater (2007) simulation is highly effective as an adjunct teaching strategy in clinical practice.

I completely agree with you that using simulation devices to train soldiers and police officers is a great technological solution to the country. By creating real simulations of the battle field, the soldiers are effectively trained to handle any kind of situation. This is the technology that is used to train the best of the best Navy seals and it can be expanded to train the whole military.

The cost cutting options and strategies was very important and necessary plan to create a steady amount of cash flow without so many expenses.

For graduate nurses, does the use of high-fidelity simulators compared to low-fidelity simulators lead to better non-technical skills during emergency situation/code blue within ten weeks?

The x-ray department of the County Hospital has various departments, which include: ultrasound, computed tomography, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance imaging. The five groups have partially their own processes

The simulation that I experienced today was with an elderly patient that just had a left hip fracture fixed and she was fresh from surgery. The patient was confused and drowsy when she got to me. It was expected that the patient would be like that because of coming out of surgery. Her blood pressure was low because she was losing fluid in the form of blood from her Jackson Pratt drain that was in place. Also she was losing fluid from her left hip dressing. So I did for that was reinforce the dressing. To help with her blood pressure being so low I called the doctor to see what we could do and she suggested that we give normal saline 500 ml bolus over 30 min. After about 15 min her blood pressure was starting to come up and normalize. What

The drugs protected by the law are safe yet still harmful. War veterans feeling the worst of the pain, after being honorably discharged for injuries sustained in action. While going through treatment for the injuries the veterans found themselves addicted to the pain medication. The veterans needing help through their addictions, PTSD, and injuries found themselves sedated for most of their treatment at the VA hospital. Waggoner; a patient at the VA hospital was addicted to pain medication and expected help from the medical staff. However instead of getting the help he needed he was given more drugs than necessary according to Cironline “The VA hospital in Roseburg kept him so doped up that he could barely stay awake. Then, inexplicably, the

The VA Hospital is a hospital that is specifically for war veterans. The VA Hospital is located in West Haven, CT. This hospital specifically is for Impatient Care and has a special Ambulatory Care Center. The VA hospital has 216 beds but sees up to 59,000 patients. The hospital is run by the Federal Government of the USA. This hospital has a State of the Art imaging for medical care. They specialize in psychiatry, cardiology, and oncology. The hospital has different wings for all of these specialties; they are very organized. They are very proud of their special research in biology and they have accreditations with the VA New England Healthcare System, the Hospital Accreditation Program for Long Term Care, Behavioral Health, Home Care and

For years nurses have gained experience in the medical field through clinical rounds at hospitals and doctors offices. Learning has always taken place first through textbooks and then through personal experience during required clinical time. These methods have proven effective but include limitations to the amount of exposure a student can gain before entering the workforce. A new way of learning is on the rise with the use of High Fidelity Simulations (HFS) or the Sim Man. HFS is a computerized life size manikin that simulates real human responses to treatment. This new technology allows students to practice rare procedures or treat common diagnoses.

Sometimes failure can really be the best teacher. This was the case with the Lakeview Regional Hospital Simulation Exercise. During the simulation, I learned a lot about working with a team, knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise. I have been a part of plenty of projects, but sometimes I can be a little lost when it comes to the healthcare aspects of things. It was during these times that I looked to my teammates to assist with filling in some valuable blanks about the healthcare environment. I do have a lot of experience with introducing technology, training and media relations. It was during these parts of the simulation that I could really lend a helping hand. The simulation illustrated the importance of buy-in amongst the implementation team as well as other members of the entire organizations. It showed that there will always be some inherent resistance, but that doesn’t mean that change is impossible as long as there is some flexibility.

Hospitals are working towards a more team-based training. The last couple years most of my training has been in a simulation lab. I feel it improves communication, teamwork, reinforces skills and new practices. Hands-on simulation experience allows healthcare workers to get messy, make mistakes and sharpen problem-solving skills — with no risk to patients. As nurses, we collaborate with each other on a daily basis but we are trained and tested individually on our skills, theory, and practical situations. As healthcare evolves, stimulation labs should be part of all healthcare works training and testing, that way everyone is better prepared to handle real time events.

According to Raymond A. Noe in Employee Training & Development, the world of virtual simulations in the U.S. Army is not only cost efficient, but also a training tool that allows soldiers to “focus on important safety issues and emergency procedures that are impossible to replicate” (Noe, 2017) in real life events. This theory is repeated by many. David Vergun interviewed Maj. Mike Stinchfield, chief of the Training Innovation Facility, Army National Simulation Center, Army Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for MilGaming

Before talking about the simulation, there needs to be an understanding of the phases of a pandemic: Interpandemic phase, Alert phases, Pandemic phase, Transition phase. Each phase carries a special role in how the world react to solve a pandemic. The Interpandemic phase is more of a cautionary phase; nothing is happening during this phase and life goes on normally. However, countries should be on the lookout of potential arising

Now a day’s virtual reality is very useful for medicine and also some difficulties too. Here can see what are the advantages and disadvantages of virtual realities that used in medical field and the type of medical simulations and how they use virtual reality. Medical simulation is a branch of simulation technology related to education and training in medical fields of various industries.
