GENERAL SUMMARY:The Nursing Simulation Laboratory is designed to provide students with hands-on clinical experiences. Simulating "real-life" situations in the simulation lab provides students with opportunities to enhance development of nursing skills, teamwork, interdisciplinary communication, critical thinking, and clinical judgment skills. The Westminster Nursing program utilizes extensive laboratory and simulation learning experiences. Simulation accounts for up to 50% of the required clinical hours required by the Colorado Board of Nursing as clinical site locations are limited. This replacement is predicated on our meeting the international standards for simulation that require technical support.
DUTIES:Assist with SimulationProgram software to model various nursing clinical scenarios according to faculty specifications. Dress simulation mannequins appropriately based on simulation scenario. Support/assist in role-playing applications, voice overs, props placement, and moulage set-up before and after simulations to create a virtual healthcare setting. Assemble pre-simulation handout material for students. Assist with training faculty in the use of simulation equipment. Serve as a resource for faculty utilizing simulation. Operate mannequins during the simulation. Return lab to original state. Provide feedback to faculty regarding how students perform on a simulation.
