iPads bring the world to the classroom!!! Special education students use iPads for many reasons: exploring, communicating, researching, quizzing and as reward for first completing work and then making a choice of leisure activity. Books to read, musicals to be heard, numbers and shapes and patterns and more can be found when using the iPad. Four walls make it a room and iPad makes it a WORLD OF LEARNING. Out of the Blue and into QUEST 602!

The Ear Examination Simulator will allow our Health Science students who are enrolled in our Health Science Theory/Clinical and Health Science Practicum programs to practice looking into a simulated ear with an otoscope. With this simulator a student will be able to differentiate between a healthy and unhealthy ear. This is a skill that students currently learn but never get to practice, because it can puncture a person’s tympanic membrane if it is not done correctly. Students need to realize how far they should insert the otoscope and practicing on the model is a great way for them to learn. Allowing students to practice on a simulated model is much safer than having them practice on each other.

The 12 Lead EKG Overlay will be placed on our Nurse Anne mannequin to allow students the opportunity to practice performing 12 Lead EKG’s on a patient as well as how to interpret them in a simulated environment. A 12 Lead EKG can be used to help identify if a patient is having a heart attack. This simulator will also allow the instructor to change the basic heart rhythm so that students can learn to properly identify the different heart rhythms they may encounter. In the future, this piece of equipment can be used to train students on how to defibrillate or pace a patient who may be in an abnormal heart rhythm. These skills are important for our Health Science students who are pursuing a Certified Medical Assistant or Patient Care Technician certification.

Last year the Health Science team designed and implemented a simulated hospital and clinical room, where students can practice their skills in a safe environment prior to entering their internship or clinical rotations. Currently with the simulated hospital room and clinical room, students only have the opportunity to interact with an adult patient. With this piece of equipment students can gain the confidence required to interact with a pediatric patient. The Nurse Kid mannequin is a mannequin that can interact with the students as if it was a real patient. It can answer the student with simple answers or with a headset, the instructor can be the voice of the patient. With this mannequin the vital signs (blood pressure, pulse, respirations) can also be changed so that students can see how quickly a patient can deteriorate or how they can improve. This particular mannequin can also have various skills performed on him such as, injections, suctioning, tracheostomy care, urinary catherization, medication administration, enemas, oxygen delivery, etc. This mannequin also allows students the opportunity to practice listening to heart, lung and bowel sounds on a pediatric patient. Practicing on a simulated pediatric patient prior to practicing on a real patient provides students the opportunity to gain the confidence necessary when encountering real patients, especially since students may not encounter pediatric patients on a daily basis.

With this piece of equipment students can gain the confidence required to interact with a pediatric patient. This piece of equipment will be used with the Nurse Kid mannequin and allows the instructor the opportunity to change the vital signs, make the patient talk and also react to various treatments that are performed on him. The SimPad Plus also allows the instructor the opportunity to video tape the simulations. Upon completion of the simulations students and instructor can watch the simulation and debrief on what went well and what could be improved.

This piece of equipment will allow students the opportunity to practice charting on a patient in our simulated environment similar to how it is done in the healthcare setting. In healthcare today, healthcare providers have a computer on wheels that they utilize when checking/charting on their patients. As a Career and Technology teacher it is important to provide our health science students with the skills necessary to help them be successful in the real world. This piece of equipment will be utilized in our simulated hospital and clinic environment.
