Digital Toolbox for Innovation in Nursing Education

The project “Digital Toolbox for innovation in nursing education (I-Box)” will develop teaching and learning materials (infographics, podcasts and videos) for nursing students and professionals. The materials from this project support the learning of technical skills nurses might need when attending patients in different healthcare settings.

Student nurses practice their skills in an environment that is as close to the reality as possible with the safety of teachers and colleagues before attending patients. In the simulation training we use human like dummies that are called mannequins or patient actors, volunteers which helps to create a realistic environment.

The learning materials of this project will introduce the student to technical procedures and allow them to prepare for the simulation experience. By being able to prepare for the exercise, they can improve their focus on the patient instead of the procedure itself.
