Upgrade Simulation and on-Campus Multi-sensory Lab equipment to current standards, include warranties for sustainability Print All

Initiative Title	Upgrade Simulation and on-Campus Multi-sensory Lab equipment to current standards, include warranties for sustainability
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2020
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	Provide students with on campus opportunities to practice skill sets using equipment/technology that they are expected to be able to use upon graduation. This technology will support instructional efforts for high-stakes skill testing. Currently our medication dispensing cabinets are malfunctioning and on the verge of being obsolete. These cabinets are vital to our ability to replicate the experience of medication administration as it occurs in clinical agencies using the process which students are expected to perform upon graduation. This is even more important as students have been denied access to clinical facilities as a result of the pandemic. Updated simulation equipment that includes warranties will ensure availability of high-quality simulation experiences that enhance development of critical thinking and hands-on skills.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	We have seen the transition to electronic medication dispensing and bar-code scanning in hospitals, nursing homes and outpatient settings, yet we have not been able to update our equipment to match current practices. Without the investment in equipment and technology, we will be unable to provide students with on-campus experiences that will prepare them for employment in the current health care environment, therefore our students would not be employment- ready upon graduation. Faculty will be unable to properly instruct students. We have had multiple challenges this year with aging equipment breakdowns, requiring costly repairs without the benefit of warranties to contain the cost. Many of the manikins are at risk for breakdown as they age.
Department Goals	Procure new high-fidelity manikins and medication carts
Programs	AAS Nursing-Day, AAS Nursing-Evening

Institutional Goals

Goal	How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011 2. To engage learners in an environment that develops their knowledge and skills in critical thinking, information and technology literacy, effective communication and enhances their awareness of civic responsibility and cultural diversity.	Students who are exposed to a variety of modalities and instructional methods are better able to engage in critical thinking. Students need experience in using the technology that they will be expected to use in the workplace.
MIDDLESTATES STANDARDS 3. Institutional Resources	Standard 3: Establishment of a technology replacement plan for the acquisition and replacement of technology and equipment.
COLLEGE I: To provide courses in the arts, sciences, health professions, humanities, business and technology at the level of Associate degree programs, certificates, training and developmental programs to meet student needs for further education, employment and personal growth. 6: To assess classroom support and technology needs on a departmental basis and implement the necessary classroom upgrades in a coordinated manner.	Upgrade of the multisensory laboratory will assist students to have the skills needed for employment.
STRATEGIC Priority III: Provide adequate resources to allow College to realize its strategic goals.	The goal of the college and the nursing department is to provide students with an education that will prepare them for the work force.
Program Accreditation Nursing Program Specific Accreditation	ACEN Standard 5: Resources. Ensure fiscal resources are sustainable and sufficient to ensure the achievement of the student learning outcomes and program outcomes.

Assessment Methods

Method	Description	Other Method	Responsible Party
Student Surveys: Satisfaction Need	Surveys can be developed internally and administered to assess student frequency, importance, need and satisfaction institution’s staff, office and services and programming.		Chairperson, Assistant Chairperson
Alumni Survey	Surveying program alumni can provide information about program satisfaction, preparation (transfer or workforce), employment status, skills for success. Surveys can ask alumni to identify what should be changed, altered, maintained, improved, or expanded.		Department chair, Assistant Chair, Simulation Tech
Employer Survey	Advancement, etc.) can survey employers to determine if their graduates are satisfactorily knowledgeable and skilled.		Department chair, Assistant Chair, Simulation Tech
