A Florida university has adopted innovative teaching strategies and technology to better prepare nursing students for the clinical environment.
Seminole Community College in Orlando, FL, has brought patient simulators and iPods to the classroom to enhance learning and to help students grasp new concepts and gain expertise. The three simulators used by the school include SimMan, SimBaby, and Noel, a simulator of a pregnant woman.
Additionally, nursing students are using video iPods; they can use the technology to upload video lectures and electronic flash cards. The iPods also allow students to record and review demonstrations of medical procedures.
