Welcome to
Simulation Simplified!
This text has been designed for
nurse educators/faculty inboth academicor practice settings. The aim
of this instructor manual is to “simplify” the process of teachingwith
simulationbyprovidingmanyhelpful tips, scenariosandtemplatesthat
youwill beable touse right away.
The lessons learned from this text and accompanying electronic
resourceswill help take themystery, the guesswork and the difficulty
outof the componentsof implementing simulation.Youwill learnhow
to create realism inyour scenario, how toeffectivelydesignandunfold
a simulation scenario. In addition, youwill learn how to facilitate high
quality debriefing/reflective thinking sessions after the simulation has
been implemented.
In thefinal chapter youwill gain insight into international perspectives
on simulationand futuredirections. SimulationSimplified is comprised
of three components: an instructor manual, a student workbook and
electronic resources for both thenursing facultyand the students.
Features
• Mini videovignettes andphotos.
• Ten sample scenarioswill beprovided in theappendixwith clear
instructionsonhow todevelop further scenarios for labs through
the “recipe card”method.
• A student handbook andelectronic resources accompany the
handbook.
• Anadditional online component (for separatepurchase), includes
links to clinical decision supportmaterials from Lippincott’sNursing
Solutions, providing support for students in their comprehensionof
critical care scenarios.
