Visualization Simulation Reflection

Due to having a simulation lab this past week we had preparation to complete before hand. The Visualization and Simulation Center (VSIM) served as training, to prepare us for similar real life scenarios. I was able to use the content we learned in class and connect it to the current simulation I was working on. Following the competition of each online situation I was able to read an evaluation to see where I excelled and where I need to improve upon. The Visualization and Simulation Center (VSIM) is on online program that functions as a teaching tool. There were various scenarios that I had to complete prior to the simulation lab at Saskpolytech. I treated each scenario how I would if the situation were real life. I went through each step in my head from entering the room to introducing myself and then progressed from there. I found this helped me to ensure I did not miss any vital steps while caring for the VSIM patient. I was able to assess and find the main issue and take the necessary steps to provide the care needed to keep both the mother and infant safe. While completing the VSIM scenarios many of the issues that presented we had learned about previously during our Family and Newborn Lecture. Whether it was how to care for a prolapsed cord or monitoring the preeclampsia, we learned about it all. I did …show more content…
The scenarios are all very relevant and could happen anytime while working. The VSIM helped in preparing us for such situations and outlined the correct steps to take. I was able to draw connections between the content learned in class and the necessary steps to take to care for the patients. Following each scenario I was able to read about areas I need to improve upon. Taking into consideration the suggestions and completing each scenario twice has helped prepare me to handle a given situation if it were to present in real
