Simulation Coordinator and
NUR 270 Course
Coordinator met to discuss
format of Capstone
 Simulation based
competency blueprint
mutually agreed upon
 Previous competency was
inherited as a skill based
demonstration lab.
 Objectives formulated

Faculty training
session -Dry Run



After the 2012 Symposium in
Charleston, we changed the skills
based competency to a
simulation focusing on leadership,
resource allocation, delegation,
critical thinking, communication
and prioritization.
Consultation with the GHS
Simulation Center resulted in the
current simulation involving 5
students and 7 faculty.
The current simulation allows us to
facilitate 40 students in 4.5 hours
with 7 facilitators.
Consistent faculty
 Time management – have
increased the time from a 20
minute stagger to 30 minute
stagger starts
 Effective
communication/scheduling
between multiple staff,
multiple entities, students etc.
 Organization and
consistency in a purposefully
chaotic environment.



Faculty hours0.80 faculty hours per
student during
simulation with 40
students.
This does not include
prep time on the
part of the simulation
center or course
leadership.
Student recognizes patient needs and
prioritizes patient care
 Student performs initial and focused
assessment
 Student communicates effectively
 Student provides a safe environment
 Student delegates appropriately
 Student demonstrates appropriate
leadership skills

4 Different Patients selected for student
assignment
 Post Partum Hemorrhage, COPD- Rapid
Response, DKA ready for discharge,
Pediatric Head Injury
 All patients had a safety error to correct;
critical decisions to make;
communication to Charge Nurse/MD;
and reassessment of the patient’s
changing condition.

at 9 min mark
 Pulse
 RR
 O2Sat

SAFETY VIOLATIONS
 Intervention/therapy in place that was not ordered
 Patient left alone during critical period
 Bed left in high position/unlocked
 Inappropriate use of side rails
 Patient not identified properly
 Personal protective equipment
 Failure to recognize
ISBARR - Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation, Read back

Debriefing Room students receive a 23 minute individual
debriefing from the
faculty running their
scenarios and are
then sent into the
debriefing room to
talk about the
scenario as a group.

Addition of Scenarios to interchange cases
Continue to refine checklists
Addition of a rubric to grade the simulation
Develop the preparatory assignment for the
students- Admission Ticket
Addition of EHR documentation
Utilization of individual rooms rather than
quad room
