Maternal-Newborn Birthing Simulation serves as introductory learning experiences for students in the Maternal-Newborn nursing clinical practicum courses. Volunteer standardized patients play the role of a birth setting laboring and postpartum patient during the simulation.
The primary role of the Maternal Newborn Standardized Patient (SP) position is to portray a prenatal laboring and postpartum patient, in a clinical setting. SPs will be asked to convey specific emotions, behaviors, and symptoms while interacting with nursing students during the simulation, designed to enable experiential learning and/or assessment of students’ skills. The SP may be physically examined by students (while wearing a foam lined partial body costume over clothing) as part of their clinical learning experience.
The School of Nursing welcomes and appreciates all volunteers in this valuable educational experience for entry to practice nursing students.
