CAE Healthcare Simulators are programmed by the instructor to provide real life scenarios designed to meet educational requirements for clinical nursing skills, from task training through advanced patient care and labor and delivery scenarios, without the use of live patients. The simulated experience eliminates consumables, reduces training space and allows students to prepare for licensure and industry certifications in a safe environment. This is industry certification training for the 21st century. As per Florida Department of Education Rule 6A-1.012(6), in lieu of requesting competitive solicitations from three (3) or more sources, district school boards may make purchases at or below the specified prices from contracts awarded by other city or county governmental agencies, other district school boards, community colleges, federal agencies, the public or governmental agencies of any state, or from state university system cooperative bid agreements, when the proposer awarded a contract by another entity defined herein will permit purchases by a district school board at the same terms, conditions, and prices (or below such prices) awarded in such contract, and such purchases are to the economic advantage of the district school board. GAP ANALYSIS : The purpose of this purchase is to support the Licensed Practical Nursing Program through industry relevant training and simulated clinical experiences at Erwin Technical College. Students will gain first-hand exposure and skills training on simulators used.

All guidelines supported by the Department of Education and state frameworks for the Licensed Practical Nursing program will be followed in the use of the new medical equipment.
