Abstract

To meet the ever-increasing demands of nursing education, as well as those of the new graduate at the bedside, faculty at the University of Maryland School of Nursing have designed and implemented a mock code program into the undergraduate nursing curriculum.This program bridges both the theory and clinical components of complex clinical situations, addressing the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning. Using Laerdral's SimMan, a human patient simulator, and case scenarios, both undergraduate and graduate students learn together in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning.
