Simulation Into Medical School: A Case Study

Throughout the weeks our team has recognized the effects and methods to managing the system development within our bookstore. It’s true that the bookstore has endured growing pains of ways to better secure their information as well as the sensitive information of their customers. Our team has analyzed better ways to conduct our business as well as the processing methods that will be improved to meet our needs. By examining our business process we had to identify the functions that were causing problems or raising cost, rising risks or basically wasting time.

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

This course is a great experience for me. I had learn a lot in this course, Capsim the simulator really do help me to learn about the basic how an organization operate, the main function of R&D, marketing, production, TQM and HR, how will of of this function affect each others, consequence of no paying attention in certain segment will lead what issue to arise and how to allocate cash in the organization wisely in order to remain competitive. All of this knowledge could have learned through Capsim. I will have idea on what issue causing which and it could help to have better understanding of the organization operating styles in the current environment and cause us to make less mistake when we go out to work. Although there a lot to learn about

While I didn’t realize it at the time, the process of answering key questions about why the Clinic would build a family history-based clinical decision support platform exposed dimensions that are clearly linked to macroergonomics.

Creating and implementing a high fidelity patient simulation lab for about 4,000 nurses working at XXXXXX. This program will provide nurses working at XXXXXX with a supportive and safe learning environment to ensure they are providing safe, effective, knowledgeable care to the patients they care for.

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.

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.

In simulation lab I was required to exercise my communication skills with a standardized patient. My preceptor requested that I do the introductory phase. Firstly, I stated my name and basic information and I asked my patient’s name and explained that I will be asking her a series of questions in order to get to know more about her and her conditions. I began formulating questions based on her statements made and ensured to listen attentively, however minutes into the interaction, tension grew in the room, since I was being assessed by my peers, and I became nervous and experienced a breakdown that felt uncontrollable. I attempted to gather myself and was reassigned to a new patient and was then required to test my planning and implementation

The nursing simulation I just experienced was about a patient that was admitted for Pneumonia and has a history of COPD. My role in this experience was being an observer. Some of my formal knowledge with the psychology of this situation is that if a patient comes in with a hard time breathing they are already going to be anxious because they can’t breathe well. Also this patient has a history of COPD so that does not help out the patient with being able to breathe and their feelings of being anxious. Some previous experience I have had with this type of situation with a patient is when a patient of mine was having leg problems and she was not able to walk at the time.

During my clinical make-up simulation, I had the opportunity to partake in different scenarios with other nursing students from different semesters. I was also able to watch and criticize other students from different simulation scenarios. In regards to what students did well, certain examples included communication, collaboration, teamwork, and organization. Communication and collaboration went hand and hand with every group during their simulation scenario. For example, each student that called the physician utilized the tool SBAR in order to prevent gaps in communication. Another example was when two students from different groups called laboratory to ask for lab results. These students showed effective communication by stating the patient’s

Today we live in an increasingly electronic, virtual world. Educators and their students depend upon this world to conduct research, simulate reality, and demonstrate their achievement. Our students never knew their environment not to have the Internet and video games. Thus, they expect their educational experience to included these as well. Student expectations can be seized upon to engage them in formal education. Driver Education has long recognized and seized upon this opportunity. The very nature of the driving task necessitates structured learning and assessment experiences beyond the traditional classroom, such as simulations. These experiences must provide opportunity for practice and assessment without risk, a virtual

"What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand."

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.

My personal mission in the field of higher education is to remove distractions and barriers that prevent students from being successful, and the Senior Advisor position would allow me to begin to execute on that mission. In my current role as a Career Advisor, I have been given the opportunity to be crossed trained in academic advisement. In an effort to assist where I have been most needed

We were four in our group and we were given a scenario of a patient who was having an anaphylactic reaction from bee sting venom. The group agreed that I will be the primary nurse. As the primary nurse, I knew that I had to lead and supervised our group in responding to the emergency situation at hand. Having played the role of a primary nurse in this simulation, I have gained meaningful experience, which I can use in my future nursing practice.
