Training of Faculty• Training at
Evergreen Island• Working with
John Miller, RN
• Build avatars• Think about what
we want the students to be able to do and utilize 2nd life for …equipment possibilities, limitations
Training for studentsCreating the avatar with the students… 2 hours
To learn to - Navigate- Teleport- Learn rules of 2nd Life- Communicate- Landmarks- Create and save and open Notecards- Use and build Inventory - Become Members of Nursing Group- Give them scrubs, stethoscope, name tag- Took 2 hours
- Needs decent size lab and IT coverage to put 2nd life of all machines. Obtaining a white listing with 2nd Life for IT
The process of Building
Wish list of equipment
• Supply cart w/ drawers that open and close• Within the cart, one would find the following items.
– IV solution – Angio catheter– Blood pressure monitor– Blood draw supplies– Suction
• Movable hospital beds• Hand sanitizer on the wall• Monitor should be by each bed• Glove dispenser on the wall• Crash cart in one room• COW Computer on wheels• Privacy curtains• Oxygen suction over bed
• Two trashcans: one for bio waste • (red bag). One regular. • Medication cart
• IV line• IV fluid
• Med Room• Clean utility• Shelves for supplies
• IV fluids • Gloves• IV tubing• Dressings• IV stat kits• IV angiocatheter
• Med dispenser
Hospital disappeared NLNAC visit is upon us!!
The Building Process continues• Field Tents emerged• Found the medical supplies and
equipment to use• Created a Disaster Relief scenario• Bots
Scrubs
StethoscopesGloves
OBJECTIVES:
Second Life provides nursing students an opportunity to:
-practice in a safe environment to enhance learning
-allow students to practice skills
-apply critical thinking in a clinical setting outside of the hospital
-network with peers and professionals
-be exposed to a disaster response clinical scenario
-have real time interaction with their professor and themselves
- Introduce and reinforce quality improvement measures
OUTCOMES:
- Students will gain confidence in critical thinking
- Students will demonstrate an increased level of critical thinking
- Students will be better prepared to handle a wide variety of real-life patient
scenarios
- Students will be able to identify various quality improvement measures
-first time NCLEX pass scores will increase
Case Study: Disaster Relief
LESSON PLAN
15 minutes :: Set up, Pairing, Instructor Intro
60 minutes :: Do case study
30 minutes :: Review with group & instructor
Were we successful?
Challenges
• To get up and running• Training roadblocks…
• Making the most of the tool • Incorporating the tool into the
curriculum• Considering where the teaching
would occur? • In a hospital setting ? Or on field trips• Computer lab challenges ..not having
enough computers for all the students
Road block Bandwidth…the issue of the white cloud people
Student Feedback
• Initial how-to trainings were confusing
• Implemented clearly stated outcomes, reviewed whole site and process before any student got an avatar
• After case study, positive feedback
Moving forward • Best Practices
When we train students – Start with clear
objectives and outcomes– Video clip of what doing
in case study – Presenter show the
Ulster location in 2nd life – See where we would go– Learn how to use an
avatar
• Next steps, use for group projects …
Ulster offerings
• Orientation – With scrubs, stethocope, shoes, notecards
• Disaster Relief scenario (first year students)• Maternity scenario (second year students)• Cardio scenario (second year students)
• Unforeseen offering, online place to work in study groups or teams
Second Life Educational Template
• Case study for critical thinking skills• Starting spot with Bot hand off of notecards• Notecards of steps, with a decision tree • Movement through space to spread the students• Feedback from instructor
Next Steps..• Schools who want to make medical facilities
• SUNY Oneonta
• Schools who want to use medical facilities• Schools who would like a webinar or in person
presentation to stimulate interest• Sign up in Google doc in Ulster land on SLN island as
well as the SLN NING
