Wright State University nursing<\/a> students learn critical skills needed to care for patients at home during a unique hands-on lab experience.<\/p>\n

The Simulating Homecare Aging in place Research Education lab (S.H.A.R.E. House) features nine state-of-the-art nursing labs outfitted with medical simulators that mimic patient scenarios such as childbirth, hospice home health care and even detailed home assessments.<\/p>\n

The S.H.A.R.E. House is located at the John Tate House, a historic two-story home built in 1825, on the campus of St. Leonard\u2019s Health Care Center in Centerville.<\/p>\n

The fully furnished lab is populated with a family of nine mannequins arranged around the house in various scenarios, allowing nursing students to assess the patients, their homes and how their living conditions will affect their illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of us learn best with a hands-on approach so this is a way to be in a relaxed environment, and, because it\u2019s a mannequin, you can make some mistakes,\u201d said Olivia Guetle, a senior nursing major who participated in the unique lab experience.<\/p>\n

The home is organized to train students to locate hazards such as a mannequin that is receiving oxygen and has apparently been smoking tobacco, tripping hazards on a staircase, and dangerous prescription drugs near mannequins with elevated heart rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have students in community health and they\u2019re experiencing what family dynamics look like,\u201d said Stephanie Savage, adjunct faculty in nursing.<\/p>\n

Robby Pangallo, a senior nursing major, said the lab allows him to think on his feet and decide which community organizations should be contacted to assist the mannequin family\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives you the opportunity to practice communications skills,\u201d said Pangallo.<\/p>\n

The lab is also set up so nursing students can experience the illnesses the patients are experiencing while trying to complete tasks around the house, such as cooking a meal without using their legs or trying to complete paperwork with glaucoma.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are using all of the skills we\u2019ve learned, critically think and put everything together,\u201d said Pangallo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
