As part of the workshop, I got to experiment and see some of the medical mannequins and tools they use to help train future nurses.
I got the opportunity to run a "code" with a life-sized simulation dummy (we called him Mr. Wham) in Johns Hopkins Medicine Simulation Center. The computer controlled patient was given a heart attack and a team of nurse educators and myself (who played the patient's son)then simulated the process of trying to save the patient--complete with injections and CPR. It was interesting.
The simulation was timed and observers behind a one way piece of glass evaluated our performance.

There are now signs of recovery in the China economy with the government’s infrastructure projects beginning to have an impact and as the Purchasing Managers new orders index rebounds. The December PMI rebounded to 41.2, 2.4 percentage points higher than the previous month, which represents the first meaningful rebound since March 2008.
Very cool! Geisinger has a similar dummy in the ER they use for training.
Nancy, It was a lot of fun! Glad to see Geisigner has them as well. I think BU has a few as well.
I learned I would never make it in the medical profession. The dummies are great from training, as realistic as you can get.

Taking place after The Dark Knight, the Joker winds up in Arkham Asylum, under the psychiatric care of newbie shrink, Dr. Harleen Quinzel, who’s subbing for Dr. Jonathan Crane . Heavy on talk, the flick follows the pair across five therapy sessions as the Joker manipulates Quinzel into a new persona: Harley Quinn.
