Winds of change: A struggle to win buy-in and build a strong simulation program Donna Ricketts, MSN, RN, CNE, OCN Cindy Frazer, MS, RN-BC, CNE, CMSRN Kristina Petrey, MSN, RN Yalanda Baker-Scalf, MSN, RN
Objectives • Describe a process used to ensure that a simulation program was thoughtfully integrated into an ADN curriculum. • Discuss the literature regarding the use of simulation in nursing education. • Discuss techniques to obtain faculty buy-in for simulation in a nursing education program. • Determine specific questions that must be answered regarding development of simulation in a curriculum.
The simulation Task force Donna Ricketts, MSN, RN, CNE, OCN
Rationale for Task Force • Clinical Inconsistency • Limited clinical sites • Recognition of emerging trends
Formulation of Task Force • Grant funding • Simulation Task Force committee members • Choice of clinical release time/overtime pay
Original Goal • Department Chair envisioned a formal simulation program to start in the Spring of 2011 • Task force considering space, faculty & staffing issues, and equipment needed for a “simulation center”
Changes in Focus • Progressed to incorporating simulation into curriculum . • Concepts that may be better taught using simulation • Opportunity for faculty to use simulation to meet student learning outcomes
Process and Timeline • September 3: Feedback from colleagues and seek programs to tour • September 17: Literature search and feedback of each level • October 1: Formulate a vision, review student learning outcomes
Process and Timeline • October 15: First draft of simulation plan, continue to tour facilities • January 2011: Report to faculty
Vision Simulation will be utilized throughout the ADN curriculum to enhance didactic content and as a method to provide equitable client experiences for all students.
Review of the Literature Cindy Frazer, MS, RN-BC, CNE, CMSRN
Literature Review Method • 4 independent reviews • Results integrated
Definition of simulation • No one clear definition of simulation • We defined simulation as: the act of imitating a nursing situation or process for the purposes of performance optimization including clinical reasoning, affective processing, and psychomotor skills.
Efficacy of simulation for nursing education • Simulation is effective • more research needed • Gains in • Knowledge • Critical thinking • Confidence • Debriefing is critical
Uses of simulation in nursing education • Student’s perceptions • Increased confidence • Enjoy the experience • Topics • Amount of simulation • NCSBN study
Simulation for evaluation • Minimal research • Subjectivity • Evaluation may not be equitable • High-stakes assessment via simulation • Employment • Licensure?
Faculty Buy-in Kristina G. Petrey, MSN, RN
Faculty Buy-In • Why do you need the faculty on board? • Is it possible to bring in a stray faculty member or group?
Faculty Buy-In • Poll the faculty • Identify the change agents • Know your team members
Faculty Buy-In • Some faculty members might say: • “I don’t want to give up clinical time” • “I am not good with technology” • “Students won’t value it”
Faculty Buy-In • Expand the vision of simulation • Gather like minds together • Define simulation • Literature review
Faculty Buy-In • Expand the vision of simulation • Pilot simulation in one course • Involve as many faculty in process as possible
Faculty Buy-In IDEAS • Where do I start? • Educate faculty members about simulation • Remind faculty that this is not a new process
Faculty Buy-In IDEAS • Where do I start? • Expose faculty to simulation • Experiment with faculty during faculty development events
Faculty Buy-In IDEAS • Advertise • Give student success feedback to faculty • Invite faculty members to simulation experiences
Faculty Buy-In IDEAS • Advertise • Gather detailed student feedback • Suggest various uses of simulation
What will work for your program? YALANDA BAKER-SCALF, MSN, RN
Curriculum Goals • Accomplish student objectives • Enhance patient safety • Develop critical thinking • Promote communication skills • Increase emergency experiences • Equalize clinical experiences
To Use for Student Evaluation, or Not? • Will the simulation be used for practice sessions only? • Will the simulation be used for a graded check-off?
Resources Needed • Simulation Equipment • Physical Space for Lab • Other Supplies and Equipment • Cost of Training of Faculty • Faculty Time to Develop Scenarios • Pre-packaged scenarios
Objectives • Describe a process used to ensure that a simulation program was thoughtfully integrated into an ADN curriculum. • Discuss the literature regarding the use of simulation in nursing education. • Discuss techniques to obtain faculty buy-in for simulation in a nursing education program. • Determine specific questions that must be answered regarding development of simulation in a curriculum.
