Developing Cardiac Education

[abrook48]

Hi! I am a nurse educator in an acute care setting and the facility I am working for is going for Primary PCI/Chest Pain Center. I have worked for other facilities prior to this one that have had this designation, but worked at the bedside. I am looking to create an in-depth nursing education program for my Tele & ICU nurses about care of the cardiovascular patient, mostly Pre and Post-PCI care. I had a great idea since many of the nurses I have spoken with since I started have verbalized that they are not sure how to palpate the groin or wrist for hematoma.

Does anyone have any good hands-on/tactile exercises that I could create to help facilitate this skill development? Like using a manikin?
