UF College of Nursing upgrades learning lab to high-fidelity simulation
The Independent Florida Alligator online
2021-01-22
With seven simulation rooms and a separate control room for instructing undergraduates, students can experience private patient care or larger procedures such as childbirth. An instructor in the control room can then feed vocal directions from the mannequin into a room for care and conditions, Jane Gannon, the assistant dean of simulation-based learning at the College of Nursing, said.

A Key to Transforming a Nursing Curriculum: Integrating a Continuous Improvement Simulation Expansion Strategy
SAGE Open NursingJane Gannon, et al.
2021-02-27
Changes in nursing, health care, and education warrant continued pedagogical innovations. Faculty are challenged to develop many innovative strategies in the clinical and simulation laboratory setting. Intentional simulation-based learning experiences are one method to prepare new graduates for nursing practice.
Recognizing opioid addiction and overdose: An interprofessional simulation for medical, nursing and pharmacy students
Journal of Interprofessional Education & PracticeJane Gannon, et al.
2020-09-01
Health science students need to be prepared to recognize and treat opioid overdose. A high-fidelity opioid overdose simulation was created to assess use of team-based communication strategies and competence in behaviors of interprofessional health science students (medical, nursing and pharmacy). Measureable outcomes were 1) frequency and quality of team-based behaviors through video analysis and 2) care delays and patient harm experienced by the simulated patient through a checklist tool.
