Introduction

The nursing simulation lab, is an educational space that recreates real situations of nursing care. It is a tool that enhances learning the different techniques that all nursing students must acquire before contact with the patient and specifically with the activity of the nurse in the hospital field. The simulation lab is a space that demonstrates the health care procedures where students can develop their abilities to "know how to be", "know what to do" and "know how to act" in a health care context (especially hospitals) .
From the first course, students learn clinical nursing skills in the lab, in an environment free from the many existing stressors in the hospital world. Subsequently, the student must put these skills into practice directly with people. This practice should serve to apply knowledge, skills and attitudes from a holistic perspective of care for people.

During the third course students should acquire advanced skills and start implementing a specialized attention to the patient's care (acute situation, critical condition, surgery ...)

Pre-course requirements

To enhance learning in the nursing simulation lab, students should meet the following requirements:

  • Attendance to all lab simulation classes
  • Willingness to learn
  • Prior reading of class notes of the simulation labs
  • Motivation to perform the procedures
  • Autonomous training to acquire the minimum skills necessary in order to go to clinical practice
  • Use of the white coat in the simulation lab
  • Suitable clothing should be worn in the simulation labs (comfortable clothing, cleanliness, no heels, no nail polish and short, hair up and not wear jewelry)

Objectives

Students:

  1. Act taking into account the inherent ethical issues in the care of the patient when performing intermediate procedures
  2. Demonstrate dexterity in performing advanced procedures
  3. Complete advanced care procedures independently and applying the basic criteria learned
  4. Learn to relate the information on the patient to the appropriate advanced procedures
  5. Demonstrate reflective thoughts before starting, completing, and finishing advanced procedures.
  6. Use sustainable resources in the advanced procedures to be performed (quantity, rejection, selective and recycling, if applicable)

Teaching and learning activities

In person



The methodology followed in the nursing simulation laboratories is a teaching-learning methodology based on reflective thinking practice and participation. To do so, there are no more than 10 or 11 students in lab simulation groups. The sequence of the teaching activity has been organized according to the following structure:

  1. Presentation of Unit
  2. Exploration of previous knowledge
  3. Presentation and discussion of the case
  4. Theoretical contribution - practice
  5. Practical training
  6. Independent practice
  7. Practice reflection

Classes are conducted according to the following activities:

  • Discussion
  • Oral presentation
  • Case analysis
  • Video or DVD work
  • Modeling metacognitive
  • Role-Playing
  • Problem solving
  • Clinical Records

The classes are always 1 hour and 50 min. long.

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



Class attendance: it is compulsory and the student must have attended at least 88% of the classes. Therefore, the student can only have 2 UNEXCUSED absences throughout the course. From the 3rd fault, each one will subtract 0.5 points in the continuous evaluation. The group of repeaters will have to exceed 80% attendance in classes. they can miss 2 classes in the whole course. The penalty will be the same as for the rest of the groups.

Each student must attend classes in the assigned group and group changes will not be accepted. There will be no possibility of recovering the lost class. Only if there is just cause, should the student contact the teacher to report the situation and be able to seek alternatives. The following will only be accepted as justified cause: hospitalization of the student or death of a first-degree relative.

Class attendance regulations:

- The student must come with a white coat on, hair tied back, no watch, jewelry on hands and wrists, short nails and comfortable shoes. In case of not complying with the regulations, the teacher can expel the student from class and will count as an unjustified absence.

- In case the student arrives late (from 8:15 a.m.), the teacher can decide not to let the student in and will count as an unjustified absence.

- Class ends at 9:50 a.m. If the student must leave 30 minutes earlier (or earlier) for some personal reason, this fraction will be counted as an unexcused absence, representing ¼ absence for each one.

- Attendance at the Interdisciplinary practice and the clinical simulation is mandatory and will be taken into account in the continuous evaluation.

The evaluation of the subject consists of two parts:

  • Continuous assessment (40%): Consists of different activities that will be carried out throughout the course, intermediate assessment tests and attendance at classes.
  • Final exam (60%): final exam in ACOE format where the student must demonstrate that they have acquired the skills (skills, knowledge and attitudes) worked on throughout the course. different real situations are presented for the student to solve individually in a healthcare context. In this test, there will be different criteria that the student must meet in order to pass it, especially related to patient safety and subject results.
    • Prerequisites: Aspects of the procedures that are key concepts of the subject and that are related to patient safety and/or that affect patient morbidity. The pre-defined criteria must be passed in order to pass the exam in a defined minimum of exam scenarios (administration and preparation of medication, allergies, dose calculation, management of central pathways)
    • Critical items: items that can affect the morbidity and mortality of patients or that are very important concepts of the subject, but with less relevance than the conditioning ones. The student must pass 70% of the items categorized in this category.
    • Minor items: items that affect patient safety but do not affect patient morbidity and mortality. The student must pass 65% of the items categorized in this category.

In order to pass the subject, you must have a minimum of 5 out of 10 points in the final exam. If the continuous assessment is suspended, it can only be recovered through the final test and the maximum grade to choose from will be 5.

In the event that a student talks to another during the ECOE, is caught copying in any exam or with the mobile / digital devices on it, it will mean the expulsion of the exam and having suspended the whole of the examination

The examination review will be on a day fixed by the teacher. The day will be communicated by the teacher in advance and the students must request by email to attend. If you do not attend, you lose the right to review.

For the 2nd, 4th and 6th call:

In the event that the student only has to retake part of the exam, the mark that will remain if he/she overcomes this partiality will be a 5 in the exam, regardless of the mark of the 1st call.
If you are suspended and have to recover a partiality, if you want to opt for a higher grade, you will have to recover the entire exam, making the previous request by e-mail on the established date. Requests after the set date will not be accepted.
Only the final exam will be recovered. If the continuous assessment is suspended, it can only be recovered through the final test and the maximum grade to choose from will be 5.
Before enrolling in the subject again, the compatibility with the other subjects must be checked. Honor registrations will not be granted in the 2nd call.

For the following calls, if they are granted, the same criteria will be applied. In other words, the 3rd and 5th will be like the 1st and the 4th and 6th will be like the 2nd.

Honor Matrix Assignment Procedure (MH)

  1. The criterion for assigning Honorary Enrolments (MH) is based on the Excellent (9.0).
  2. The assignment is solely for the teacher and does not have to give it, even if the student has obtained a mark above 9.0.
  3. In case the teacher decides to award MH, he will not take into account the numerical mark and the highest, but will evaluate other factors. The HM might not match the highest numeric score.

Procedure for Non-presented Assignment (NP)

  1. To register an NP in the student's file, it must not have been submitted to any of the evaluation tests throughout the assignment.
  2. If a student has submitted to one of the evaluation tests, the corresponding percentages in the teaching guide will be applied, with a 0 in those not presented.
