Human Patient Simulators (Manikins)
Human patient simulators were adopted for use in nursing education around the mid-1990s (Nehring & Lashley, 2004). Although they had already been in use in medical education for nearly 3 decades, nursing did not incorporate them into practice till much later. These high-technology computer controlled simulators were first introduced in the late 1960s, with SimOne being the first of its kind.
