Decreasing access to clinical sites, inconsistency in student learning experiences, and lack of faculty have compelled nursing schools to incorporate more simulation into their curricula. Professional organizations, regulating bodies, and schools of nursing support its use. The Nursing 2 Challenge simulation activity was designed to give second-semester nursing students an opportunity to improve skill competence and critical thinking utilizing a systematic, preplanned station rotation format in the safe setting of the nursing campus lab. Each station required the students to apply clinical decision-making and nursing skills to complete interventions aligned with course objectives.
临床实习场所减少、学生学习经历不一致以及师资短缺,迫使护理学院在课程中增加更多模拟教学。专业组织、监管机构和护理学院都支持其使用。“护理2挑战”模拟活动旨在为护理专业第二学期的学生提供一个机会,让他们在护理校园实验室的安全环境中,通过系统的、预先规划好的站点轮转形式,提高技能水平和批判性思维能力。每个站点都要求学生运用临床决策和护理技能来完成与课程目标一致的干预措施。
