Preparing Future Nurses Through Real-World Simulation

What happens when an emergency unfolds, and you’re the one responsible for saving lives?


Wesleyan College nursing students recently stepped into that reality during a live disaster simulation on campus. The staged mass casualty incident involved a driver experiencing cardiac arrest who struck a group of pedestrians, requiring students to rapidly assess victims, triage based on injuries, symptoms, and vital signs, and respond in a high-pressure environment.


The timing of this drill is especially meaningful, as these senior nursing students will graduate in just over a month. Experiences like this play a critical role in preparing them for the realities of clinical practice.


“It’s very important. You don’t want to be a nurse facing a situation like this without ever experiencing it,” said nursing student Sarah Grace Self. “That’s why having the opportunity to practice triage and gain real, hands-on experience is so valuable.”


Designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world care, simulations like this allow students to apply their knowledge in a controlled, high-intensity setting while building confidence and clinical judgment.


“The main thing I want them to walk away with is developing confidence in themselves,” said Dr. Alex Roberts, Associate Professor of Nursing. “Instead of just talking about it, they’re actually doing it in a safe way. There’s nothing like it in terms of enhancing their skillset.”


Experiences like this are made possible through strong community partnerships.

Wesleyan extends its sincere thanks to the Macon-Bibb County Fire Department and Community Ambulance for their support and for demonstrating how emergency teams coordinate care in real-world situations. Their collaboration plays an essential role in preparing the next generation of nurses.

Core Gameplay Features
