Interprofessional Development of a Livestream Simulation Activity to Enhance an Undergraduate Nursing Research Course.
Nursing education perspectives, 2019Co-Authors: Yzette Lanier, Kellie Dionne Bryant, Wendy C. Budin, Matthew John Marsaglia, David Resto, Jordan Genee, Kevin Birk, Nadia Sultana, Ralph Carumba, Jo Anne M JaravataAbstract:The article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of an interactive Simulation Activity to enhance student engagement and comprehension of evidence-based practice principles. An interprofessional team of nurse educators, Simulation experts, information technology specialists, and nursing informatics graduate students collaborated on the Simulation design. The results of this project support the need to develop innovative learning strategies to facilitate nursing students' understanding of the relevance of evidence-based practice research to improve patient outcomes.

Teaching student nurses how to use electronic patient records through Simulation: A case study.
Nurse education in practice, 2018Co-Authors: Karen Elliott, Diane Marks-maran, Rene BachAbstract:Abstract Like any skill in nursing, preparing students for the changes in technology needs to be incorporated into the curriculum. Electronic Patient Records (EPR) are an example of technological innovation in health care. This article presents a case study of how one faculty of healthcare, working collaboratively with a web designer, created and implemented a Simulation Activity to enable student nurses to develop their skills in using EPRs. An evaluation study was undertaken into students' perceptions of undertaking the Simulation Activity and using EPRs in the Simulation Activity. Findings showed that students were positive about the Simulation Activity and using the EPR app in the Simulation, and felt well-prepared for using EPR in practice.

efficient gigabit ethernet switch models for large scale Simulation
Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Simulation, 2010Co-Authors: Dong Jin, David M Nicol, Matthew CaesarAbstract:Ethernet is the most widely implemented low-level networking technology used today, with Gigabit Ethernet seen as the emerging standard implementation. The backbones of many large scale networks (e.g., data centers, metro-area deployments) are increasingly made up of Gigabit Ethernet as the underlying technology, and Ethernet is seeing increasing use in dynamic and failure-prone settings (e.g., wireless backhaul, developing regions) with high rates of churn. Correspondingly, when using Simulation to study such networks and applications that run on them, the switching makes up a significant fraction of the model, and can make up a significant amount of the Simulation Activity. This paper describes a unique testbed that gathers highly accurate measurements of loss and latency through a switch, experiments that reveal the behavior of three commercial switches, and then proposes Simulation models that explain the observed data. The models vary in their computational complexity and in their accuracy with respect to frame loss patterns, and latency through the switch. In particular, the simplest model predicts a frame's loss and latency immediately at the time of its arrival, which keeps the computational cost close to one event per frame per switch, provides excellent temporal separation between switches (useful for parallel Simulation), while providing excellent accuracy for loss and adequate accuracy for latency.

the effects of engineering modules on student learning in middle school science classrooms
Journal of Engineering Education, 2006Co-Authors: Pamela Cantrell, Gokhan Pekcan, Ahmad M Itani, Norma VelasquezbryantAbstract:The Teachers Integrating Engineering into Science (TIES) Program is a collaborative project among faculty from the College of Education and the College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. The TIES project paired university faculty with middle school science teachers to create three units that included engineering design using a variety of interactive learning activities in order to engage a wide range of students. The units included a Web-based Simulation Activity, lesson plans, a design project, and three types of assessments that were standardized across schools. Results of assessments were disaggregated by gender, ethnicity, special education, and socio-economic level. Mean scores for these student population groups were compared to mean scores for the same groups on the 2004 Nevada eighth grade science criterion referenced test. These results indicate that engaging students in engineering curriculum activities may diminish achievement gaps in science for some student populations.

incorporating innovative Simulation activities into campus lab to enhance skill competence and critical thinking of second semester associate degree nursing students
Nursing education perspectives, 2019Co-Authors: Lesley A Andrew, Patricia M BaxterAbstract:Decreasing access to clinical sites, inconsistency in student learning experiences, and lack of faculty have compelled nursing schools to incorporate more Simulation into their curricula. Professional organizations, regulating bodies, and schools of nursing support its use. The Nursing 2 Challenge Simulation Activity was designed to give second-semester nursing students an opportunity to improve skill competence and critical thinking utilizing a systematic, preplanned station rotation format in the safe setting of the nursing campus lab. Each station required the students to apply clinical decision-making and nursing skills to complete interventions aligned with course objectives.
