Simulation Study Helps Prepare Southern Miss Nursing Students

For University of Southern Mississippi nursing student Kara Scott, simulation exercises provide the next-best-thing to actual patient care.

“As students we don’t get to do things like call physicians or administer IV push medications,” said Scott, a junior from Slidell, La. “But with the simulation training, we get to experience those kinds of scenarios. It allows us to be involved in decision making and delegating different procedures.”

Scott and 82 other School of Nursing classmates are participating in a national study funded by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) to examine the use of simulation in nursing education. The two-year study, which includes a $300,000 grant, began with the 2011 fall semester.
