Abstract: Practice equipment costs for students have soared in the last ten to fifteen years. The dilemma is how to achieve the required level of skill proficiency in a cost-efficient manner.
Due to the high cost of disposable equipment and supplies, our university could not afford to provide each student with a sterile unopened kit. We searched for a way for students to have the experience of opening a kit and using it for the first time in a simulated learning environment. Our teaching team in the Adult Nursing course decided to let the students purchase a large packet of materials to be used throughout the course.
