I’m passionate about simulation as a learning strategy, since I believe that this innovative strategy can be used effectively to prepare our students for the clinical areas and allows students to integrate their theory with practice.
I’m currently responsible for teaching the 1st year nursing students. I am registered as an assessor and moderator at the South African Nursing Council.
