Abstract

Session presented on Saturday, November 7, 2015 and Sunday, November 8, 2015:

Simulation has been used since the 1960's in aviation and the armed forces. Today simulation is emerging as a teaching pedagogy. Simulated patient scenarios provide students with experiences they may not be exposed to in an actual clinical setting. Virtual simulation allows students to observe and care for patients in real life context. Thus allowing students to practice in safe and nonthreatening environment. Anxiety is decreased because no actual harm will to come to a live patient. Students can learn from their errors without putting the patient at risk. During this simulated clinical experience students integrate and synthesize core concepts and knowledge. Students also apply appropriate interpersonal and psychomotor skills. This presentation will discuss different pedagogical strategies used to incorporate simulation into nursing education. By sharing with participants the process of development of a three-dimensional stroke scenario that was used as continuing education module and for undergraduate baccalaureate nursing students.
