The Norman Knight Nursing Center For Clinical & Professional Development

OVERVIEW

The Knight Simulation Program offers this day-long program to increase the nurse’s knowledge and skill in caring for patients experiencing bedside emergencies. The program includes participation in four simulated scenarios as well as a review of the code cart, hands-on practice with the defibrillator, and documentation practice in the code narrator. 

Scenarios are video recorded and followed by a debriefing, which focuses on both clinical and behavioral aspects of performance.

The target audience is the MGH general care unit staff nurse with less than a year of acute care experience who has completed orientation and is feeling comfortable in his/her role as a new nurse.

Due to limited space, only nurses employed by MGH may attend.
