Question

Review the following scenario and address questions:

For years, Victoria has been torn between the desire to practice nursing in the vibrant, metropolitan city, or in her peaceful, mountainous hometown in the country with her family. She wonders how the two experiences differ. How do the demands differ? How does the technology differ? To learn more about these differences, she explores a variety of education scenarios, including computer-based virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios in both urban and rural settings.

How do you think the demands and technologies differ?

How can virtual reality, simulations, and real-life scenarios be designed to provide optimal education for nursing students?

How might they be integrated into the nursing school curriculum to increase patient, practitioner, and hospital safety?

Answer 1

Answer: Although there are many facilities to work in the metropolitan city, the peace and the environment of hometown is totally different. Being with family is a different kind of feelings. Practising nursing at the hospitals of the metropolitan city is more convincing as many good facilities are available and one can easily adjust to the environment. But the town has many drawbacks over these cities. But the environment is polluted with dust, smoke, garbage and dioxide gases from factories. Most of the people who live in the city are corrupted. So there are lots of crimes in the city. Many thefts and murders often take place in the city. The city is always busy and noisy.

In metropolitan cities, the opportunity is more and there is lots of demands in hospitals for a nurse. Ambulance facilities are very common in city where as rural areas dont have these facilities or have very poor transport system. Salary is much more better than the town hospitals.
