Emerging Technology
Identify an Emerged Technology
A current technology that has shaped the instruction of nursing students is the use of simulation technology. The simulation aides in the practice of clinical scenarios, allowing safe practice on artificial patients.
Problems and challenges that have been associated with the technology is the ability to have all faculty utilize the equipment.
This technology meets society's needs indirectly via the quality nurse that evolves through instruction. The benefit is high professionalism in a competent nurse!
This technology would be better if there were an increased support for faculty in the use.

ReplyDeleteI can understand why simulation is an excellent tool for the medical community. I can see how this can reverse to virtual reality as well, in the future or the use of 3D graphics to make this practice even more realistic as medical techniques advance.
Diane, seems this technology is being used for simulated surgery as well; read this somewhere. Hopefully the surgeon remembers to remove the simulated surgical instrument from the simulated patient prior to simulating the suturing! Ha!
