The Australian Nursing Federation is offering a series of online 3-D clinical simulations for nurses.

Federal Education Officer Jodie Davis said the new website, launched today demonstrates the ANF’s ongoing commitment to the continuing education of Australia’s nurses and midwives.

“This innovative website offers 3D simulated learning for clinical procedures,” Ms Davis explained.
“Each module teaches a different procedure through an interactive simulation, accompanied by a step-by-step text with hyperlinks, a video demonstration, a 3D model of the anatomy encountered during the procedure and a quiz.

“The simulation is also available in test mode so the nurse or midwife can check their competence.
“Scores and time taken to complete each module is stored in a logbook on the website for easy transference to the CPE professional development portfolio.”

There are a total of 32 modules including:

  • Venous Cannulation
  • Perform and interpret an ECG
  • Assist with minor surgical procedures
  • Paediatric assessment (infant)
  • Perform suture removal
  • Administer nebuliser treatment and assess peakflow
  • Perform capillary puncture and haematology testing
  • Urinary Bladder catheterisation
  • Nasogastric tube
  • Administer intramuscular injections
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) – 12 Lead

On completion of each module you receive a Simulation Summary Report which can be printed out.

Prices fro ANF members is $10 per module, which gives you access to the module for one month.
Non-members pay $15.

You can register and access the modules here.

    • ofelia said: Never heard about MAP before today, I had been taking medication for high blood pressure for10 years, until I found a Dr. that told me that I could get rid of the pills with alternative medicine, been off the pills for three months now, and there are days that I worry about my readings, even though most of them are within normal...

    • John said: It’s not a failure of leadership but a plan to destabilize our medical system and fully privatize it. No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
