The Simulation Room

Just got back from my CALEB Club Meeting. We have some cool things planned for the kiddos. While we were going over everything, the woman coordinating the event, a MUSSON faculty member, gave us a tour of the simulation lab where the event will be held.

WOW! Talk about cool.

The lab is a large room with seven different dummies on hospital beds. There were a couple of nursing students there practicing. Then she showed us a separate room with an $89,000 dummy that reacts to EVERYTHING. You can give it medication, insert needles, etc. It urinates, breaths... it walks, it talks, it's almost human! (Actually, it probably doesn't walk, but you get the point). The room itself was a simulation of a typical hospital room, equipped with cameras and a one-way mirror so nursing students can go back and see what they need to work on. I also saw some homemade fecal matter.

I can't wait to use this equipment for the event. I won't be graded on it!
