End-Of-Life Simulation Education, Lucas Farris

In the current healthcare workforce, there exists a lack of comfort and knowledge about providing end-of-life (EOL) care that will only continue to worsen without prompt changes to the delivery of education (Jablonski et al., 2020). The lack of knowledge and comfort expressed in providing EOL care leads to a nurse’s moral and physical difficulty when a patient chooses palliative care or hospice. This is a detriment to patients and should be a consideration for schools of nursing when developing curriculum and clinical activities. By promoting changes in curriculum and the addition of an EOL simulation at the undergraduate level, …

How Covid-19 Changed New Nurse Orientation, Lindsey Js Sanders

Universities were no longer able to do in person learning for nursing students. Nursing students were being taught vital skills like inserting an IV catheter via online simulation. The number of hours nursing students had to participate in clinical hours at the hospital was diminished due to the hospitals not allowing in nursing students. This created a huge educational deficit in nursing students. The nursing students who graduated during the COVID-19 pandemic are arguably less skilled than their predecessors before them. To fill this educational gap, additional training and orientation time must be provided to allow for fully competent new …
The Use Of Standardized Patients To Improve Communication Skills: A Benchmark Study, Baylee A. Azbell
The Use Of Standardized Patients To Improve Communication Skills: A Benchmark Study, Baylee A. Azbell

Effective communication is an important skill set for all nurses to withhold. In the medical field, poor communication skills have been associated with negative patient outcomes, increase in patient dissatisfaction and complaints, faulty treatment adherence, inadequate patient education, malpractice claims and poor patient and healthcare team relationships (Lin et al., 2013). Communication is a learned skill and needs to be taught from the very beginning of nursing school. Nursing schools need to be proactive and prepare their nursing students in promoting clear communication skills to ensure patient safety and satisfaction in care. This issue led to the benchmark project that …

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using High-Fidelity Simulators, Rebecca Walker

Simulation and high-fidelity simulators (HFS) have become an important part of nursing education and its implementation into the curricula. It has become important in enhancing their knowledge and the development of competent nurses by reinforcement of skills that have been previously learned. HFS also increases students' confidence and reinforces their skills and knowledge while introducing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The literature suggests that overall the students have greater retention of CPR skills if HFS is used instead of classical CPR training with low-fidelity simulators (LFS). However, some studies suggest that using HFS does not lead to retention of CPR skills or …
