Abstract:
Every nursing school wants students using realistic equipment in their practice lab- including a replica of the medication administration systems used in hospitals. The challenge is that most of this equipment is cost prohibitive, confusing and not easily adaptable to the educational setting. sim2grow, LLC was founded by two nurse educators who understand the nursing education space and what students need to transfer this skill to patient care in the hospital. We created a medication administration training system with all the essential elements necessary to teach safe medication administration: dispensing unit, barcode scanning, and documentation capabilities. Our system eliminates the confusion and frustration that comes with makeshift practice equipment. Students can now repeatedly practice medication passes until it is second nature.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the need for comprehensive medication administration training in nursing programs.
- Identify the benefits and features of sim2grow med admin that solve the problems existing in their labs.
- Create use case scenarios that ensure a program’s ROI for purchasing a total medication administration solution.
