护士桥梁书，床头新的培训

作为一名护士刚走出校门，卡洛斯·埃尔南德斯知道它可能需要时间来掌握成为一名好护士所需要的技能。

"New nurses come to work every day hoping to learn something new, build trust with our teams and become comfortable with our practice," says Hernandez, a clinical nurse on our stem cell transplant unit. "But what we really need is confidence -- and to know that we're making a difference for our patients."

To help build that confidence and ensure that our patients are getting the best care possible, MD Anderson has started a simulation training program. It gives new nurses role-playing situations with real patients.

"It's really important that we give our new nurses a way to develop relationship-building and communication skills with patients early in their nursing careers," says Kelly LaFrentz, who manages the program.

A new approach for training nurses
模拟程序旨在弥合之间有什么新的护士学校学习，他们在病人的床边体验到什么差距。它给护士们一个安全的环境，通过真实的生活场景运行，并获得宝贵的反馈意见。

“你不知道你不知道什么，直到你经历过它，”詹姆斯骑士，小，谁运行模拟中心说。“有了这个类型的学习，护士都能够识别改进自己的机会，以及验证他们在做什么的权利。它迅速建立他们的信心。”

Sorayah布雷南，在我们的急救中心一项新的临床护士说，这正是新护士需要。

“要知道你做了正确的事情是因为你刚刚起步非常重要，”她说。“我们需要知道我们在正确的轨道上。”

角色扮演与患者
The simulation center includes four replicas of inpatients rooms. All four rooms are connected by a control room, where facilitators watch and provide feedback.

而不是依靠一个模特，我们的护士居民得到角色扮演与实际MD安德森患者。

In fact, several patient advisors volunteer their time for an entire afternoon to help. They provide the most realistic scenario for our nurse residents to experience -- and give real-time feedback from the patient perspective. That feedback makes a real difference.

“在我们的实践中，我们没有考虑像病人，我们正在考虑像护士，”布雷南说。“我们需要从谁一直在这些情况下，患者之前立即作出反应，它可以帮助我们很多。”

拉弗伦茨同意即时反馈是训练的最重要的方面。

"Learning from patients on how to improve the care we provide is one of the best things we've added to our program," she says. "I would have loved to have had that opportunity as a new nurse."

Bourenane says the entire experience was meaningful.

"The transition from being a student nurse is hard," she says. "To have this kind of support at the beginning of our careers is amazing. I feel lucky to have been a part of it."
