This windshield survey was conducted in London,Ohio for a nursing course. This video is only one example of a Windshield Survey.

You will survey similar items; however, your survey will not be exactly as the example. In this assignment, you will conduct a windshield survey of a geographic area within or near the community where you live. Windshield surveys are effective in raising awareness of issues relating to public health in and around the community. Before you conduct the windshield survey, you may also wish to visit the Google Maps website (Links to an external site.). Input the zip code for your selected area. Once the map displays, view the map to determine if there are schools, parks, churches, bus stops, health care facilities, etc. in the vicinity.

Note that Google Maps includes both a traditional Map view and a photographic Satellite view of the area.

Current Issue in Healthcare Education – Nursing Simulations

The current issue research paper gives the student the opportunity to explore a trending educational issue in nursing education such as simulations.

The paper should begin by offering up a clear description of what nursing simulations are, considering any variations to simulations that may be used in different education settings. This description should enable the reader to have a thorough understanding of nursing simulations.

Next your paper should delve into available literature regarding the pros and cons of simulations as it is applied to healthcare education. Is simulation well-received by students and faculty members? Is it easy/difficult to implement? Is it expensive? Consider all of these things from the framework of education within the nursing profession.

Finally, based on your analysis of the pros and cons, identify whether or not simulation will be a viable option for education within the nursing profession. Be sure to thoroughly justify your decision.
