Simulation and Interprofessional Research in Progress

Nursing simulation center staff and Health Science faculty conducted research on an HRV analysis of second year nursing students completing their first simulation experience. Research looking at nursing student anxiety (self-reported and objective data collected by monitoring Pulse rate, resp rate, and temperature) during a simulation scenario. Data has been collected and will be analyzed soon.
