Preparing the assignment:

Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.

  • Students will use the CJSim™ Unit Census document (found in the CJSim™ Access in Canvas) to identify the assigned client. CJSim™ Assignments per course:
    1. For students who are in NR 228: Nutrition, complete only the client below:
      • Client: Jenna Batch (Surgical Care Unit)
    2. For students who are in NR 283: Pathophysiology, complete one of the following clients:
      • Client: Jake Abbott (Fundamentals Unit)
      • Client: Josie Brennan (Fundamentals Unit)
      • Client: Jolene Sigmund (Pathophysiology Unit)
      • The use of a nasogastric (NG) tube is mentioned during the Jolene Sigmund CJSim™. An NG tube is inserted through the nose into the stomach and can be used to decompress the stomach by removing gastric contents and/or administer medications.
  • Students will care for the CJSim™ client as if they are caring for a living, breathing client. This includes a thorough review of the electronic health record (EHR).
  • Students need to meet two criteria for each CJSim™ interaction:
    1. Score at least 85% on each attempt.
    2. Spend at least 15 minutes on each interaction.

Note: CJSim™ does not have a timer, please ensure you set a timer and have the screenshot with the 15 minutes per attempt.

  • Students may retake CJSim™ cases until the two criteria are met.
  • Resources available to support successful completion of this assignment include:
    1. The BSN Program Library Guide, available using a link on the left navigation bar in Canvas, includes diagnosis and pharmacology resources, as well as the Made Incredibly Easy books.
    2. Textbooks from courses taken before, or concurrent with, this course, including
      • Potter, P. A., Perry, A. G., Stockert, P., & Hall, A. (2023). Fundamentals of nursing (11th ed.). Elsevier.
      • Pagana, K. D., Pagana, T. J., & Pagana, T. H. (2021). Mosby’s® Diagnostic and Laboratory Test Reference, (15th ed.). Mosby.
      • Vallerand, A. H., & Sanoski, C. A. (2022). Davis’s drug guide for nurses (18th ed.). F. A. Davis.
  • Submits screenshot of completed CJSim™ in the assignment dropbox. Screenshot needs to include student name, CJSim™ case title, date/time of completion, grade received on the CJSim™, and total time spent in the CJSim™. See sample below:

 

  • Students may be required to complete specific or additional CJSim™ cases as deemed necessary by faculty.
  • Completes reflective journal
a.       150 word minimum reflection.

b.      Summarizes new information learned by completing this assignment.

c.       Reflects on how the new knowledge will impact future behavior as a healthcare professional.
  1. Logical reflective flow which follows standard grammatical rules with minimal (1-2) misspellings and APA where applicable.
  • Detailed criteria are listed in the Grading Rubric.

CJSim™ Unit Census document

  1. Assignment Overview: The assignment is designed to help students meet specific program outcomes related to providing comprehensive care, demonstrating leadership, integrating clinical judgment, and incorporating evidence-based practice.
  2. Client Assignment: Students are assigned a virtual patient from the CJSim™ Unit Census document based on their course. For example, NR 228 students will care for Jenna Batch in the Surgical Care Unit, while NR 283 students will choose from clients like Jake Abbott, Josie Brennan, or Jolene Sigmund, depending on the unit.
  3. Simulation Interaction: Students are required to interact with the virtual patient in the CJSim™ tool, aiming to achieve a minimum score of 85% on each attempt and spend at least 15 minutes on each interaction. They can retake the simulation until meeting these criteria.
  4. Resources: Students are provided with resources such as textbooks, diagnosis, and pharmacology references to support their completion of the assignment.
  5. Submission Requirements: Students must submit a screenshot of the completed CJSim™ session, including their name, the case title, date/time of completion, grade received, and total time spent. Additionally, they are required to write a reflective journal summarizing new information learned and reflecting on its impact on their future practice.
  6. Additional Requirements: Faculty may require students to complete specific or additional CJSim™ cases as needed.

Overall, the assignment aims to simulate real-world patient care scenarios, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge, develop clinical judgment, and reflect on their learning experiences to enhance their professional practice as future healthcare professionals.
