Implementation of simulation in Medical Surgical course Addressed Gap In the nursing education today simulation can be used for teaching of a wide variety of skills. Simulation can be used to teach strictly technical skills or non-technical skills like communication. The goal of the nursing schools is to prepare nursing students that are capable of providing safe and competent nursing care. However this goal is becoming more and more challenging because of the accelerated nature of the nursing programs for students, which already have another degree. Finding clinical sites for training future nurses becomes more and more challenging because nursing schools are competing for access to limited clinical sites. Patients in those clinical areas are sicker and to take care of them requires more confidence and experience. Simulation can provide this extra practice allowing students to go prepared and equipped with technical clinical skills into the practice. Even though, the simulation can provide training in a safe environment and can teach critical thinking and good assessment skills, it is not utilized enough in the nursing program at NUY Rory Meyers…
implementation of simulation in a recognizing different heart rhythms Task 1: Project Proposal Introduction: In this task, you will identify a gap in a nursing education program in an academic setting that leaves nurses unprepared to complete a duty in the workplace.

However, you will be required to conduct a comprehensive literature review of the primary, peer-reviewed studies you will use to identify best practices in support of your proposed solution. During your capstone course, you will create implementation and evaluation plans that include the details of a lesson plan for your proposed curriculum. Once your project proposal is complete, you will create…

The rate of discrimination against women is rising alarming rate in the third world countries, and they are not allowed to involve themselves in many economic activities that are considered menial.
