Collaborative efforts of nursing students and surgical technology students in the simulation laboratory

Kingsborough Community College, A City University of New York

Abstract 

The field of nursing education rarely integrates other allied health professions into its core curriculum. The surgical technology faculty and students at Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, New York, assist the nursing students with their rotation through the operating room through simulation. This incorporation has been extremely helpful to the clinical nursing students and has allowed for a mutual understanding of the respective occupations and respect for their future colleagues.
