I have been a nurse for over 17 years. I have currently graduated from Mercy College with a Bachelors degree in nursing. I am currently pursuing my masters degree in nursing education. I work in administration in a small facility. I am pro-active in staff education and infection control management. One of my greatest delights is empowering people through education.
The Sim Man
He wheezes, vomits, and has an irregular pulse, pedal pulses and wounds that ooze pus. He talks. He breathes. He has a blood pressure-or not. "He" is a Sim-Man Training Mannequin, an innovative new way to provide realistic clinical simulations for nursing and allied health students. He is often described as the $6 million dollar man bought for the bargain price of a mere $35,000!
Manufactured and sold by Laerdal, Sim-Man is gaining recognition as a valuable new tool to prepare students to identify health abnormalities and to effectively practice dealing with clinical emergencies (including bioterrorism agents) before experiencing them with real, live patients/clients. Because Sim-Man can be programmed to speak, realistic physical as well s as biopsychosocial assessments can be practiced.
