Clarkson College unveiled its second simulation lab on campus, which features the latest model of tetherless and wireless maternal/fetal simulators for use in actual point of care training.
The Noelle S2200, known as Victoria, is a full-scale health care education simulator produced by Gaumard Scientific Co. to simulate a mother in labor. Victoria has a patented, precision life-like delivery and birthing mechanism that delivers a life-like, full-term neonatal simulator (Newborn Hal) with sophisticated monitoring capabilities. Delivery can be programed to mimic any situation from a normal vaginal birth to a C-section. Complications including breech presentation, shoulder dystocia, maternal bleeding or umbilical cord prolapse can also be simulated. Currently, Clarkson College is the only higher education institution or medical campus in Nebraska with a Noelle S2200.
Clarkson College nursing students enrolled in summer courses are the first to train with the new high-fidelity manikins. “Students will be able to practice handling situations they may not experience in the clinical setting before practicing as professionals,” said Erin Jordan, Clarkson College simulation lab coordinator. In addition to mimicking birthing scenarios, students will perform head-to-toe assessments on Victoria that entail IV insertions and bimanual pelvic and vaginal examinations.
Simulation-based training has proven effective in the preparation of health care professionals as they learn to care for patients in realistic settings. A study sponsored by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing and published in July 2014 by the Journal of Nursing Regulation provided strong support that substituting high-quality simulation experiences for up to half of traditional clinical hours produces comparable end-of-program educational outcomes and new graduates who are ready for professional practice.
Clarkson College opened its first simulation lab on campus in fall 2012. The 375-square-foot space, which depicts a patient room, includes the adult Hal simulation manikin, a control room and a debriefing room. The effectiveness of the training and high demand for use of the space prompted the installation of a second simulation lab.
“As simulation continues to grow at Clarkson College, I foresee the use of our simulation labs to prepare students to enter practice at time of graduation and for opportunities in interprofessional practice,” Jordan said. “These are just two examples of the potential of simulation at a nursing and allied health institution.”
