Summary
Clinical instructors, often enthusiastic junior faculty, are commonly chosen as surgical trainers. However, their tenure in simulation centers tends to be brief, impacting training continuity.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Surgical Simulation
- Faculty Development
Background:
- Clinical instructors, typically junior faculty with an interest in education, are frequently recruited as surgical trainers.
- These individuals often begin their roles with high enthusiasm for teaching and simulation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the typical profile and engagement duration of surgical trainers in simulation settings.
- To understand the factors influencing the retention of clinical instructors in surgical simulation roles.
Main Methods:
- The study likely involved a review of personnel records or surveys within surgical simulation centers.
- Data analysis focused on identifying the characteristics of individuals serving as trainers and their length of service.
Main Results:
- The most common profile for a surgical trainer is a junior faculty member with expressed educational interests.
- The duration of service for these clinical instructors in simulation centers is often limited.
Conclusions:
- While enthusiastic junior faculty are valuable surgical trainers, their commitment to simulation roles may be transient.
- Strategies may be needed to enhance the long-term retention and support of surgical trainers in simulation environments.

01:22The Professional Nurse
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

A tracheostomy is a surgical technique that involves making an incision in the neck to provide access to the trachea. It is frequently used in medical conditions such as airway obstruction and prolonged mechanical ventilation. Effective nursing management is crucial for the long-term success of a tracheostomy.

Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
