High-fidelity simulation comes to the Nursing Resource Lab in February

Kwantlen University College has been fortunate to purchase 2 high-fidelity (METI) simulators. These simulators reproduce real-life patient scenarios in a lab setting. They can breathe, have palpable pulses and respond to actions that students perform on them. These simulators allow students to work in real-time, and allow them to make errors, and learn from those errors, in a safe environment.

To accommodate the 2 simulators, the Nursing Resource Centre was renovated into a simulation lab, with a monitoring station and cameras that record the actions the students take during a patient scenario. De-briefing and reflection on those actions increase clinical reasoning skills and allows for transformational learning to occur.
