*Independence-- Students are able to practice decision-making skills in regards to healthcare on their own

*Confidence-- Learning in a simulation exercise boosts future RNs' self-confidence and esteem resulting in improved patient care once they enter the RN workforce.]]> 2019-04-12 03:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351031284 katewill https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351031736 *Cost--the high cost of opening a simulation lab may be unobtainable for smaller nursing programs.

*Communication and nurse-patient relationship-- At the end of the day, the student nurses are not gaining the valuable face-to-face time with patients. Communication skills are not as authentic with a simulation mannequin.]]> 2019-04-12 03:06:09 UTC https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351031736 katewill https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351032315 *Wonderful opportunity for distance students to receive education prior to attending clinical setting patient care activities
*Students could have the ability to conference call/Skype/FaceTime to join other classmates to discuss interventions for the simulated patient. ]]> 2019-04-12 03:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351032315 katewill https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351032803 According to a literature review conducted by Patel (2018),

* Nursing students graduate from school anxious  about his or her performance expectations in their first nursing job and being able to meet those expectations.

*Many nursing students report significant stress surrounding lack of confidence in their clinical skills

*Simulation training can improve confidence and decrease stress by providing a safe environment to hone clinical skills resulting in safer and more capable graduate RNs.]]> 2019-04-12 03:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351032803 katewill https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351033527 *TruMonitor
--Through this simulation activity, teachers can choose the scenario and difficulty level. If students have a second mobile device, it can be used as the patient monitor. This simulation focuses on students learning how to differentiate cardiac rhythms and in-depth hemodynamic monitoring.

*Resuscitation!
--Resuscitation! is the award-winning virtual patient simulator that makes learning medicine addictive! Resuscitation gives you a case presentation of a patient who is ill, and you play the role of the health care provider. You are in control and can take a history, perform a physical exam, develop a differential diagnosis and administer therapy to treat the patient’s underlying problem. You can place the patient on a monitor, start IV’s, perform procedures, administer medications, obtain radiology studies, EKGs, and a LOT more.]]> 2019-04-12 03:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351033527 katewill https://padlet.com/katewill/ncyggdm5to45/wish/351034759 *Advantages--Free to users, however, more storage requires a monthly membership. The application gives the user many color and background options which is much more appealing to the eye than older applications such as PowerPoint.

*Disadvantages-- User must create an account which will ultimately lead to more junk mail in your e-mail browser. There is some user difficulty. There are not many buttons or options to format slides in a better fashion.
