Simulation

system of an educational institution (Lee, 2010). One of the most obvious barriers to implement simulation program in healthcare professionals' education and in clinical settings is cost. Initial setup costs and the costs of maintaining an up-to-date simulation laboratory can be challenging (Parker & Myrick, 2009). While research and documented experience with using simulation in nursing education is increasing, there is limited research pertaining to evidence-based principles or…

Poverty Simulation reflection Before the poverty simulation, my definition of poverty was based on the experience of my life in Africa (Ivory Coast). The poverty I did experience was created by the system establish after the civil war. Between the years 1960 to 1990 my parents were able to afford a basic of living such us housing, food, health, education. Possibilities were given to excellent students to come abroad study and go back to reinforce the country. Life at that time was good. Sadly,…

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…

and development, and environmental factors. It affects an individual's social interaction and the ability to accept and adapt to changes in the environment. (Porter, 2015) Autism Simulation: The most difficult and emotionally challenging simulation to do. I used an IPad and the internet to do the following four simulations on Autism: 1. Thirty minutes watching the videos on sensory stimulation at work. Very informative…

myself a 36/44. I believed that this can be attributed to being the second simulation but on reflection I believe I scored lower. The previous simulation was less related to mine than I had thought and while it was the same patient the main concern was completely different. However, just refreshing on my clinical skills in general did aid me in achieving a higher score than if I had been the nurse in the initial simulation. In “Noticing” I gave myself a 9 as I was unable to collect subjective…

refusal of voting rights was based on the fear that women and minorities were wildcards, current voters had no idea how they were voting. This simulation demonstrated how teams with no voting rights felt having to fight for them and it also demonstrated just how much each vote really counts in an election. In this simulation it was illustrated…

The critical stage in children’s understanding of the mathematical rational number and mental and written computation strategies and ‘big ideas’ to reconceptualise their thinking in what is involved in multiplication and division to comprehend the ‘multiplicative situation. (Hurst., 2015).It is important students construct and coordinate the three aspects of multiplicative situations when they are developing multiplicative thinking which is the number of equal groups, the number in each group,…

Is life a simulation? People say life is a mystery and is not susceptible to anything except for death. Most say that there is even life after death. But what if all of that was just futile. That we were not even real. That we are just a dream or a simulation of some other world. This is the topic that could make most confused or skeptical and make some question our very existence. Are we real? Do we have free will? Is life a simulation? Almost nothing today can run such a sophisticated program…

The key lesson to be learned from the simulation was that one decision can alter everything and can change lives. It took numerous attempts to get to where I survived and made it to a peaceful area. To begin with, I selected to initiate my journey as a female, since I myself am female and I felt that it would benefit my understanding of the struggles that refugees encounter. I just felt that picking a role that I can relate to, could provide me with more of an opportunity for sympathy. Next came…

Peter Weinstock, an Intensive Care Unit physician of Boston Children’s Hospital, and also the speaker of the Ted talk titled “Lifelike simulations that make real-life surgery safer.” He is the director of the Pediatric Simulator Program also, at the Boston Children’s Hospital. Weinstock is a well-educated being, received his PhD in molecular and cell biology from Rockefeller University and furthered his education in clinical training in plastic and general surgery at the University of Pittsburgh…
