This paper aims to examine the etiology, evidence of lack of utilization of critical thinking, the legal ramifications, Federal regulations, and the strategies that can be applied to boost the utilization of critical thinking in the clinical setting. The paper acknowledges that critical thinking is a key element in healthcare settings and that it should be one of the required core competencies in nursing. Analysis […]

Prior to my experience today, I had yet to see how valuable the simulation-lab could be. Throughout the duration of our morning in the lab I continuously saw importance of clear communication, coordination of care, and critical thinking amongst many of the other objectives of this course. All of the material presented to us, throughout the past three years, is beginning to come together and […]

Ethics Game Simulation Reflective Journal Ethics Game Simulation Reflective Journal Ethics is defined as “the branch of philosophy concerned with evaluating human action… meaning character, customs, or habitual uses, ethics encompasses a process of determining right conduct from wrong.” (Guido, 2010, p. 3). Nurses are confronted with numerous ethical dilemmas that are intertwined with legal issues. Concepts of ethical and legal concepts are frequently interplayed […]

Introduction This essay is going to focus on the nursing skills that I developed during a period of placement simulations and in the community, placing emphasis on oral care, communication with a non-engaging patient and bed bath. It will outline the fundamental aspects of clinical nursing skills that I have begun to acquire. This will also highlight the learning processes which took place and how […]

Simulation is rapidly becoming a significantly learning methodology in healthcare education. Primarily, the changes seen within the nurse educator’s role as a result of simulation use is the unique characteristics of learning to create a bridging experience between the classroom and actual patient care and, more importantly, helps learners develop advanced clinical reasoning skills. Furthermore, learner active engagement is a critical requirement for effective learning […]

levels and thus make students more efficient. The limitations of this study were a small sample size and that its participants consisted mainly of Caucasian females. The last article reviewed in relation to self-efficacy and confidence with clinical simulation is a journal article by Ball et al., (2015), “Nursing Shortages in the OR: Solutions for New Models of Education”. It gives an overview of the […]

Aronson and Colleagues (2013) believes that in most cases new nurses find themselves under prepared to handle complex patient cases when patient illness rapidly deteriorates. The researchers use quasi- experimental studies for the research. The study thus sought to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of theory based role modelling intervention on enhancing the students competencies in responding to stimulated response to rescue event. The measurement of […]
