COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Emergency Department Course with Simulation and Skills is a program designed for nurses new to the specialty area of Emergency Medicine. Following along with the Elsevier Emergency Nursing Orientation 3.0 modules, this course provides the foundation for orientation to Emergency Nursing as it blends online learning with four days of simulation scenarios and skill stations. The ENO 3.0 modules include topics such as: Triage, assessment, and rapid evaluation; cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, maxillofacial, ocular, GI/GYN, musculoskeletal, skin, and pediatric emergencies, plus discussions regarding violence in the Emergency Department, donor services, and palliative care.

  • With the four Simulation and Skills days taking place in the Collaborative Learning Center’s High-Fidelity Simulation Center, the course utilizes a blend of case studies, task trainers, and high-low fidelity manikins to gain confidence and skills as students learn the practice and bedside management of patients with complex disorders, including assessment and treatment. The focus of the simulation and skills days are to promote the application and synthesis of the ENO 3.0 module content and allow the participant to practice critical thinking, communication, decision-making skills, and interventions in a safe learning environment.
  • IMPORTANT: To prepare for the Simulation and Skills days, completion of the corresponding Elsevier Emergency Nursing Orientation 3.0 modules is highly recommended and in some cases required. Authored by the Emergency Nurses Association, access to these modules in assigned in several ways:
  • CommonSpirit employees will receive this assignment via Pathways
