Sherry Fuller

As coordinator of simulation and skills labs, Fuller works with Regis faculty to develop a learning environment that facilitates student development in a way that promotes higher-level thinking, incorporates the whole patient approaches and respect for various lifestyles, priorities and preferences. Students can read a book, listen to a lecture and have a foundational understanding of nursing content. Simulation and skills labs are designed to challenge students to complete competent actions based on their foundational knowledge. Our simulations provide a structured environment for students to practice and hone their communication skills to better serve their future patients. Our standardized patients (medical actors) and high-fidelity manikins prepare students for the challenges nurses are facing in our current medical arenas.
