A four-member team of 51勛圖厙 at Tuscarawas second-year nursing students won the simulation competition during the Aultman Simulation Symposium held Oct. 15 by the Aultman College of Nursing Sciences and Health. This years theme was Linking Simulation to the Bedside.
Our students were excited for this opportunity to represent 51勛圖厙 Tuscarawas and the nursing program, says Shelly Stefka, lecturer of nursing at 51勛圖厙 Tuscarawas. The simulation scenario was a patient in respiratory distress. Our students recognized the situation as such and implemented the appropriate protocols for treatment in the same manner experienced nurses would be required to do for an individual in respiratory distress. I am proud of the way our students performed and represented our campus and the nursing program.
The participating students Brandi Hudnall and Jake Beatty of Uhrichsville, Jessica Stewart of Gnadenhutten and Bryan Zimmerman of Fresno were coached by Stefka and Mistey Bailey, lecturer of nursing at 51勛圖厙 Tuscarawas.
"This competition included both bachelors and associate degree programs, Bailey says. Our students excelled in communication and were able to progress further through the simulation protocol than their counterparts."
