Introduction
In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of
the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect
the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.
The (LBS) Nursing Simulation Lab is an educational space that recreates real-life situations of care nurses. It is a tool that enhances the learning techniques that all nursing students must acquire before coming in contact with the patient and in particular reinforces the activity of the nurse in the hospital field. The Simulation Lab is a space that allows nurses to develop the necessary skills to "know how to be and do" as a nurse in a health context (especially hospital-wise).
From the first course, the nursing student will learn the clinical skills in the Simulation Lab in an environment free of the multiple stressors that are in the hospital world. Subsequently, the student must implement these skills directly with people. This practice should serve to apply knowledge, skills and attitudes from a holistic care perspective to people.
During the first course students must acquire the basic skills for basic care for people as well as learn how to protect the patients and themselves from the threats posed by hostile environments.
Pre-course requirements
To enhance learning in the Nursing Simulation Lab (LBS), students should comply with the following terms:
Attendance to all classes of the LBS.
Willingness to learn.
Prior reading of the notes of the LBS.
Self-training to acquire the required minimum ability for practices.
Motivation to perform the procedures.
Use of the white coat in LBS.
Suitable dress in the LBS (comfortable clothes, neatness, no heels, no nail polish, short nails, hair tied up, and no jewelry)
Objectives
Nurses will act taking into account ethical aspects inherent in the care of the person and in the basic care procedures
Displayed skill in the performance of basic care procedures.
Performing basic care procedures autonomously using the elementary criteria of development.
Learning to relate the information about the patient and the basic care procedures and applying them appropriately.
Using the resources according to the maintenance criteria in the basic procedures of performance (quantity, selective rejection and recycling if necessary)
