Airline pilots and other high risk occupations use "high stakes" testing prior to licensure. <br />At one point, high stakes was noted to be simply giving a grade concerning the student nurse's abilities to show their cognitive, behavioral, and psychomotor skill. Now, after the INACSL Conference in St. Louis, there is another group of individuals who use the definition of "high stakes" as a performance which would seem more appropriate for the state board of nursing's licensure responsibility. This type of simulation testing would not be the same type as you have in the summative evaluations in schools of nursing. <br />Can you provide us with your definition of "high stakes simulation'?

It will give us passionate sim users/believers a new place to share "our opinions".<br /><br />I agree that we have to work hard on creating a standard sim language.

I have to agree that as nurse educators we are not ready for high stakes testing.Patty Raverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142889212241779947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879582814567646345.post-33755560623323989972009-07-08T05:52:49.598-07:002009-07-08T05:52:49.598-07:00As a fellow Gen-Xer I share your passion and inter...As a fellow Gen-Xer I share your passion and interest with technology and nursing education. I believe you have made some excellent "food-for-thought" comments with high stakes simulation. I am looking forward to being a part of the generation of nurse educators that investigates to transcend the use of simulation. Thanks for the blog, I believe it will provide a valuable avenue of simulation networking for each of us.ProfMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115848465212183910noreply@blogger.com
