The training of future nurses at the Intercommunal Hospital Center of Poissy-Saint-Germain-en-Laye (Chips) in Yvelines is now done through simulations. The nursing training institute (Ifsi) has invested in a fake patient room with a bed and a fake operating theater, reports 78 Actu Monday December 2, 2024.
The renovation of the premises made it possible to create this simulation space. This allows students to perfect their techniques and have room to make mistakes. Behind one-way mirrors, trainers can observe them.
“It reproduces the reality on the ground”
“These simulations help enormously […] Being able to do it on a mannequin before doing it on a real patient is reassuring”explained a 3rd year student. “It’s very useful and it reproduces the reality on the ground very well, with simulations of sweat, lips turning blue, the thorax moving”analyzed one of the trainers.
Since 2022, the nursing training institute has undergone significant renovations which now allow it to offer more advanced training. The educational coordinator hopes that the simulation space will reduce the number of dropouts.
