Nurses can face high-risk, low frequency cardiac events when they've had little to no hands-on exposure before encountering them in real life. That's where a tool like this open chest simulation manikin comes in: It allows for practice in a controlled environment, and it's inexpensive to make, too!

This open chest simulation is crafted with budget-friendly and upcycled items like retired CPR manikins and car wash sponges — and if you've got a crafty colleague, you can even add a crocheted heart to the cavity. It's one of the newest submissions to the NLN's HomeGrown Simulation Solutions collection, a peer-reviewed database of creative, cost-effective innovations in clinical simulation.

Find just the sim idea you need — or submit one of your own! — at the link in the comments.

Although there were over 100 Black colleges and universities by 1990, only 23 had nursing programs. While working at the NLN, M. Elizabeth Carnegie put together this calendar to celebrate those programs and their leaders, including then-future (and now current) NLN President and CEO Dr. Beverly Malone.

This calendar is housed in the NLN Collection at The Barbara Bates Center for The Study of The History of Nursing at Penn, which preserves the NLN’s rich history in an archival repository for scholarly historical research.
