Clinical Reasoning During Simulation: Comparison Of Student And Faculty Ratings, Rebecca Jensen Jun 2014

Clinical Reasoning During Simulation: Comparison Of Student And Faculty Ratings, Rebecca Jensen

Rebecca S Jensen

A recently developed tool, the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) was used to evaluate nursing students' clinical reasoning during simulated pateint care scenarios. For two semesters, students and nursing faculty completed the clinical reasoning tool after participating in and observing students' reactions to simulated emergent patient simulations. Sores were compared between nursing students and faculty and between programs, associate (AS) and baccalaureate of science (BS). Students' scores differed statistically based on program, BS means greater than AS, but student and faculty ratings were rarely significantly different. Additional research across multiple programs for a larger sample size and additional testing of …


Testing A Mnemonic On Response Skills During Simulated Codes, Luanne Linnard-Palmer, William Phillips, Margaret Fink, Olivia Catolico, Natalie Sweeny May 2013

Testing A Mnemonic On Response Skills During Simulated Codes, Luanne Linnard-Palmer, William Phillips, Margaret Fink, Olivia Catolico, Natalie Sweeny

Margaret Fink

Background Baccalaureate nursing students rarely have the opportunity to practice emergency response skills. Simulation gives students the ability to practice emergency procedures in an environment that is safe. Method Nursing students’ skills accuracy and confidence ratings were assessed before and after an instructional module that incorporated a mnemonic, named ABCD-COPIME, to improve emergency response techniques to a simulated code blue scenario. Seven nursing students completed 7 trials of responding to a code blue simulation. After each trial, skill accuracy was assessed with a skills checklist, and after Trials 1, 4, and 7, each student’s confidence was measured by self-report. A …

Development And Description Of The Incivility In Nursing Education (Ine) Survey, Cynthia Clark, Judy Farnsworth, R. Landrum Dec 2011

Development And Description Of The Incivility In Nursing Education (Ine) Survey, Cynthia Clark, Judy Farnsworth, R. Landrum

R. Eric Landrum

Incivility in nursing education is a challenging problem and difficult to measure. This paper describes both the development and description of the Incivility in Nursing Education (INE) survey. The INE includes eight demographic items, six quantitative items, and four open-ended questions. It measures nursing students' and faculty’s perceptions of and experience with academic incivility. The INE was initially tested in a 2004 pilot study using a convenience sample of 356 nursing students and faculty and re-tested in a 2006 study with another convenience sample of 504 nursing faculty and students. Revisions were made to the INE based on findings from …

Caring For Children With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities: Virtual Patient Instruction Improves Students' Knowledge And Comfort Level, Ida Slusher, Carla Sanders, Harold Kleinert, Teresa Free, Kim Clevenger, Stephanie Johnson, Sara Boyd

Nurses play a vital role in providing health care to children with developmental disability (DD) throughout the United States. Unfortunately, most nurses continue to report that they receive little or no clinical education in the area of DDs. In response to this need, a core development team consisting of nurse practitioners and nursing faculty from three universities, one physician assistant faculty, parents of children with DD, and educational specialists developed two multimedia (virtual patient) pediatric instructional modules in CD-ROM format—one involving a child with Down syndrome, and the other involving an infant born at 26 weeks' gestation. Participants were required …
