  1. Designing a Simulation Learning Lab to Enhance the Students Experience Wendy Ouellette MSNc RN CPON Josephine Atinaja-Faller RN MSN CNS

  2. Objectives • Through a needs assessment, identify strategies for faculty and administrative buy-in. • Discuss various strategies in building a simulation lab.

  3. Project Management • A project manager was selected and worked in conjunction with other faculty and Deans of the College. An architect was hired to consult on the room planning as well as an audiovisual specialist team.

  4. Acquisition of Equipment • Through a generous donor alumni Phyllis Nickerson Dotson class of ‘62 and George S Dotson, we were able to purchase…. • 2 Laerdal Mannequins: Sim Man and Sim Baby • Renovated an existing nursing skills lab • State of the art Control Room • Video camera • Hospital beds and stretchers • Zoll Defibrillator • IV Pump rentals • Two debriefing plasma monitors

  5. Simulation in Numbers • Spring and Summer 2009: • Total Number of Students: 780 • Cumulative Hours: 10,680 • Fall 2009: • Total Number of Students: 468 • Cumulative Hours: 3, 128 • Staff: • One director/full time faculty • 8 adjunct faculty • 2 Simulation technologists • Lab coordinator

  6. Student Reflections • “I was surprised to see the new set up, and was pleased with the changes made. I think the way the sim lab is now set up is more conducive to learning because it is more realistic.” • “This was my first time using the new lab and it was absolutely amazing. I’m jealous of the underclassmen who have the privilege of using this lab from the beginning.”

  7. Timeline • Fall 2005- Vital SIM, task trainers • Fall 2008- Acquire Laerdal equipment (SIM MAN & Baby), Med/Surg II • Spring 2009- Add Med/Surg I • Summer 2009- Add Pedi, OB, & Fundamentals • Fall 2009- Move into new LAB, Add Community & Psych • Spring 2010- Add Family Nurse Practitioner Advanced Health Assessment • To date: all elements of the Undergraduate Curriculum and one Graduate Course rotate through the simulation lab
