Faculty represent Villanova at simulation conference
Dr. Mary Ann Cantrell, Dr. Bette Mariani, Colleen Meakim, MSN and Dr. Jennifer Ross shared their simulation expertise at the June INACSL conference in Texas.
In June 2016, Villanova’s College of Nursing faculty represented our nursing community proudly at the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) conference which was held in Grapevine, Texas.
The INASCL conference provides the perfect setting to support research and distribute evidence-based practice standards for clinical simulation practices and advance the science of healthcare simulation.
Faculty members, Drs. Mary Ann Cantrell, Bette Mariani, and Jennifer Ross, along with Colleen Meakim, MSN, RN, CHSE who directs the College of Nursing's Simulation and Learning Resource Center, attended this year’s conference and offered their contribution to simulation enhanced education with poster and podium presentations.
Thie presentations included:
· Non-Nursing Students as Standardized Patients in a BSN Education Program (Poster Presentation) - Colleen Meakim, MSN, RN, CHSE
