This symposium provides a rich description of the ways in which simulation can be understood and applied to solve challenges in clinical education. These presentations are the results of work that was done in a nursing program in the Midwest. The authors of the presentations are all faculty at the University in the Nursing Department and have worked together for three years to understand, develop, and integrate high fidelity clinical simulation with sophomore nursing students. This symposium provides participants with the ways simulation can be applied in education to evaluate learning and solidify nursing knowledge. The symposium will start with …

Abstract

Purpose/Objectives: Analyze the use of Electronic Health Records (EHR) to stimulate the critical thinking and decision making required of students in real clinical settings by: 1) integrating current written work into the EHR and 2) creating a robust database of simulated patient cases, including diagnostic test results, physician orders, medications and physical assessment data. Currently, in order to enhance the students’ level of critical thinking, a weekly worksheet is completed utilizing a template in a Word document. The client’s physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs or “stressors” are identified and analyzed using the Neuman Systems Model (NSM).

Background: EHRs are …
