“I feel I will be able to work with electronic medical
records comfortably after my experience in Sim
Lab.”
80% agreed strongly with the following

Student Feedback

100% of first semester PN students
that responded to their survey agreed
or strongly agreed to the following
statement:
z
“The Academic Electronic Medical
Record exercises made me feel
comfortable with electronic charting.”
Student Feedback

From LPN student:
z
|
“ …I like the electronic charting that we are
practicing on, and I feel that it will help us in
the long run with getting a job.”
From RN student:
z
I spent half of the time learning the new
electronic charting system that was both
challenging and informative. It was nice to
see how an actual electronic chart looks
rather than just hearing about them.
Faculty Feedback
|
For the first time, yesterday I had a group of
students who were back for more. I had them
gather data and prioritize needs for Pristine 53, the
leukemia patient. I found this was a great
learning, thinking, prioritizing exercise for PN
first semester students. As expected, they felt
their first priority was to address the high wbc count
and the patient's pain. I was able to help them
see that most likely, the RN on their team will take
care of the IV needs of this patient. They were
able to see the emotional needs of this patient
and how they can make referrals to SWS and
pastoral care. As LPN's, they can really do some
great listening and support, and direct them to
services that are needed.
