Using Simulation In Novel Ways To Teach Patient Safety (Qsen) And Understand The Student Experience, Rachel Ramsey, Susan Ahrens, Cheryl Rockwell, Katrina Kessler, Pamela Dekoninck

Rachel A. Ramsey

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 …

The Development Of A Tool To Measure Qsen Competencies, Rachel Ramsey

Rachel A. Ramsey

In response to the IOM’s call for change in health care education, the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) Project established six competencies to help nurse educators design curricula. The faculty at one Midwestern University had incorporated these competencies in their program at all levels, but recognized an assessment tool was needed to evaluate students’ clinical performances related to these competencies. The presentation that follows will discuss a simulation project that resulted in the development of the QSEN Competency Assessment Tool (QSEN-CAT). While students participated in an extended two-hour simulated clinical experience, faculty observers recorded clinical behaviors that demonstrated …

Electroninc Health Records For Nursing Education: Integrating Technology Into Nursing Curriculum., Pamela Dekoninck, Rachel Ramsey, Katrina Kessler

Rachel A. Ramsey

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 …
