Mercy College Simulation Center Incorporates Escape Room Activity
Mercy College associate and bachelor’s degree nursing students, EMT, and PA students and BGSU Athletic Trainer students participate in an escape room activity where they work together to solve a series of puzzles to implement a plan of care. In this scenario, the patient is in need of a life-saving procedure. Each group has 45 minutes to complete the Escape Room activity. Groups will be completing the activity every day the week of 10/11-10/16. Which group will have the most time remaining?
This activity focuses on communication among caregivers with different roles while treating patients in diverse healthcare settings. Communication strategies are discussed along with common communication barriers while providing methods to overcome these obstacles. Students demonstrate effective communication techniques through active learning strategies to improve patient centered care.
