The Derry Patterson Wingo School of Nursing at Charleston Southern University now holds the prestigious distinction of having the world’s most advanced wireless human patient simulator. The school of nursing at Charleston Southern is the only school of nursing in the Lowcountry to have the iStan by Meti simulator.
The i-Stan simulator mimics the anatomical workings of the human body to a level of realism not possible with other simulators.
“The hands-on experiences the students will receive in very realistic patient scenarios will provide increased skills, self confidence, and safety,” Hulsey said.
The new simulator at Charleston Southern marks another milestone for the nursing program. A significant accomplishment was recently achieved with the recent graduating class – a 100 percent pass rate on the NCLEX-RN exam. The one hundred percent pass rate marks the second year in a row that the Charleston Southern graduating class has earned that distinction. The school of nursing at Charleston Southern is the only nursing school in South Carolina to earn this distinction for the year 2007.
