She is a passionate advocate for simulation in nursing education, and has presented at a variety of conferences throughout the United States and Canada to promote the use of simulation. In 1995 she designed and developed the University of Virginia’s Theresa A. Thomas Intensive Care Simulation Lab, one of the first such facilities in the country. March 2006 she spearheaded the development of the first state-wide Nursing Simulation Users Network Conference for the State of Virginia, hosted by UVa and sponsored by Laerdal Medical Corporation. Because of the outcomes of this venture, this conference will be conducted again in June 2007. Childress is also a founding member of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL), and was recognized for her contributions to INACSL with their Service Award in June 2006.

Location for equipment checkout and viewing of audiovisuals 3004: This is an eight-bed procedural laboratory/classroom (1 pediatric bed, 7 adult beds); Classroom capacity equals sixteen students. Multimedia equipment is available for viewing audiovisual aids. 3006: This is a four-bed procedural laboratory/classroom; Classroom capacity equals fourteen students. Multimedia equipment is available for viewing audiovisual aids. 3009: The Theresa A. Thomas Intensive Care Simulation Laboratory, created in 1995, is a two-bed unit. It is available to assist undergraduate and graduate students in learning how to manage acute or critical care situations. The simulation manikins, Sim-Man and Sim-Baby are major features of this unit. This lab was made possible by a generous grant from the Theresa A. Thomas Memorial Foundation. 3013: The Charles L. Reed Physical Assessment Laboratory is an eight-bed unit. In 2001, this lab was renovated and dedicated in honor of Mr. Charles L. Reed, the former president of the Theresa A. Thomas Memorial Foundation whose generous funding made the renovations possible.

Audiovisual resources are available in each lab. When resources are needed by faculty for teaching purposes, please submit a requisition to the CSLC Director at least 5 to 7 days in advance. Requisition forms are available electronically via the “I:CSLC” directory). Back To Top lmb7s@virginia.edu (Lee Brunjes) Nursing, Education, Public Universities, UVa --1.0 Policies Food and Drinks are not permitted in the CSL Center. This policy is reflective of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration guidelines and should be strictly enforced by faculty because of safety and the need to preserve laboratory equipment and resources. Faculty, teaching assistants, and students using CSLC classrooms will be responsible for leaving labs clean and in order prior to departing. Whenever possible, sit on chairs, rather than beds. If beds are used, please remove and fold bedspreads first and replace soiled linens PRN. Thank you for your help in keeping these labs/classrooms in excellent shape for frequent tours! Audiovisuals, Equipment, Models A copy of the software and audiovisual holdings document is available in the "I-CSLC" directory (under AUDIOVIS.CSLC). Information regarding educational equipment and materials is available in the CSL Center. Reserved Materials Materials pertaining to laboratory or clinical skills and items placed on reserve by faculty members for other courses may be signed out at the CSLC front desk in 3005 (CSL Center Office). New Equipment Requests Please provide CSLC Director with requests for new equipment. Arrangements will be made to borrow the equipment if purchasing it is not an option.

Students can immediately apply skills and concepts that would otherwise become diluted between classroom time and clinical practice. The thoughtful use of simulation technologies in the CSLC ensures that students and clinicians will acquire critical skills and judgement and will maintain competency. Back To Top lmb7s@virginia.edu (Lee Brunjes) Nursing, Education, Public Universities, UVa --1.0 Vision The CSLC was established in 1990 to help manage the advances/changes that were curricula/program driven at the University of Virginia School of Nursing. (e.g., Front Loading of Clinical Skills, Incorporating an ACNP Program). The creation of the Theresa A. Thomas Intensive Care Simulation Unit in 1995 was driven by the need to manage issues associated with: Limited Hospital Stays Greater Patient Acuity and Co-Morbidity Limited Exposure to Unique Clinical Conditions Abbreviated Clinician Orientations Demanding Clinical Situations for Novice Practitioners Improving Student’s Confidence & Competence prior to entering the units Facilitating Transition to Actual Clinical Settings Improving Quality Care & Patient Safety The expansion of the CSLC is driven by: The need to provide additional state-of-the art teaching/learning units to accommodate increased enrollment addressing the urgent and continuing nursing and nursing faculty shortages The proven effectiveness of active learning and teaching The need to expand teaching/service/research partnerships within the UVA Health System and beyond The CSLC's expansion will incorporate an Operating Room Suite, a Virtual Reality Lab, and a Simulation Research Lab. The existing procedural labs will be upgraded to enhance point-of-learning and clinical practice through the use of high-fidelity simulation resources and standardized patients. The ultimate goal of the CSLC is to become a Regional Simulation Teaching Resource and Research Center for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Back To Top lmb7s@virginia.edu (Lee Brunjes) Nursing, Education, Public Universities, UVa --1.0 Mission The primary objectives of the Clinical Simulation Learning Center (CSLC) at the University of Virginia School of Nursing are to: provide a state-of-the-art learning, teaching, and research environment for students and faculty promote acquisition of basic and advanced clinical skills/behaviors that are essential for undergraduate nursing students to master provide resources that will assist acquisition of clinical skills necessary for advanced practice roles provide an ideal learning environment for supervised and independent practice, throughout the students' academic endeavors work in cooperation with the University of Virginia Medical Center and Medical School in providing a learning environment that promotes professional development of health care providers be available as a resource center for students, faculty, and associates - internally and externally.
