Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” A huge part of nursing education is learning and practicing hands on skills. Students usually start by practicing these skills in what is known as “simulations.” Many times these simulations are set up like hospitals with hospital beds, manikins, and medical supplies all to prompt learning. Using these simulations is a huge resource for nursing students. They allow students to practice and master skills before performing them in real life situations. Simulations have been around since the early 1900’s and used throughout a variety of disciplines. This topic interested me because I believe that is has a huge impact on me as a nursing student.

In 1925, Martha Chase died, but her family continued the business as the demands for the hospital mannequins escalated. In 1939, Mrs. Chase’s oldest son redesigned the mannequins once again. He gave them more attractive faces, put metal hinges in the joints, and streamlined body shapes, remodeled the reservoirs, and updated hair styles. Even the U.S. army requested male mannequins from the Chase Company to help train medical corpsmen in hospital techniques. As time went on, the company continued to modify, improve and refurbish the hospital mannequins. Chase mannequins also were used for research to study the preventions and effects of accidents. Finally in 1981, the Chase Company was sold, and although the dolls a quiet but notable impact on the general public, it had a remarkable impact on health care …show more content…
Are simulators cross-examining with quality judgement? And overcoming certain ethical boundaries when working with manikins, rather than actual clients. Many studies still need to be done on the effectiveness of simulations, focusing on those questions. It will take time for institutions to adapt the new evidenced-based practices. There has also been talk regarding changing nursing curriculum when incorporating the new advanced simulations. Even though there is still a lot to be learned regarding simulations, they will gain popularity of high fidelity and computerized simulations. Even as technology continues to explodes, many anything is possible for the future of nursing
