Hollis Caswell MS, RN, CCRN, RNC-NIC, CHSE
Hollis Caswell is the Nursing Simulation Coordinator for Hood College in Frederick, MD, with over thirty years of pediatric/neonatal critical care nursing. Her simulation journey started at Boston Children’s Hospital, where she was the PICU Nurse Educator over a decade ago. Hollis provided many different simulation modalities to help educate and train the PICU team to handle many difficult healthcare situations.
Hollis holds advanced simulation certification as a Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE). She has completed the Advanced Simulation Education Leader IV (ASEL IV) training with the Maryland Clinical Simulation Resource Consortium (MCSRC) and presented her project “Debriefing in the Classroom and Beyond” at the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Conference held in Milwaukee last June.
While working as the Simulation Educator at Stevenson University in Owings Mills, MD, she collaborated with the Medical Laboratory Science faculty to create an interdisciplinary simulation that regarded both disciplines’ scope of practice as they cared for the same critical patient. She will share those findings with you today.
