Biography

Ms. Rickman was hired as a Simulation Specialist in 2019 for the undergraduate school of nursing simulation program. She is responsible for the development, facilitation and evaluation of simulation-based experiences (SBEs) conducted across the nursing program’s concept-based curriculum. As a former emergency department nurse, her favorite simulations are the code blue, end-of-life, and multi-patient simulations that are conducted during the final semester of the program. Ms. Rickman is a DNP candidate graduating in May 2022, and her scholarly work has been centered around psychological safety in pre-licensure nursing simulation. The results of her study are being used to improve the psychological safety of students participating in SBEs. Ms. Rickman is also studying for the Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE®) exam.
