Lucina has arrived – SPC College of Nursing has received the latest birthing simulator !!

The CAE Fidelis Lucina Maternal Fetal Simulator was developed for clinicians and interprofessional teams who manage normal deliveries as well as childbirth complications and obstetrical emergencies. The birthing simulator provides our students with reliable, realistic training for childbirth maneuvers as well as pre-gestational and post-partum nursing care.

On Tuesday, June 23, 2015, the simulation coordinator, resource lab staff, academic chairs and our Dean Susan Baker had the chance  to experience a short training session to run the simulator. A representative from the medical simulation company, CAE Healthcare, demonstrated a normal birthing scenario. It was a very educational and exciting training for everyone present.  SPC’s College of Nursing resource lab staff and the simulation coordinator are ready to give our students a wonderful maternity teaching experience through the use of such amazing technology !!

Now what should we name Lucina’s baby?
