WAPPINGERS FALLS, N.Y., Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Laerdal Medical will be exhibiting at the National League for Nursing (NLN) Summit in Chicago, IL, as the NLN celebrates 125 years of leadership in nursing education. Nurses have always been the cornerstone of patient care. But, today's expectations that a nurse be skilled in decision-making, critical-thinking, and leadership make nursing today a distant reflection of what it was 125 years ago. As the training requirements for nurses have changed, Laerdal has changed too.

As part of the ‘Buy One, Gift One’ Program, for each birthing simulator purchased through Laerdal Medical, a second one is donated to support the Helping Mothers Survive initiative.

At the NLN Summit, Laerdal will be showcasing solutions designed to meet growing demands in nursing. These include:

SimMan® 3G Simulator, with the ASL 5000™ Lung Solution and VitalsBridge™ clinical patient monitor interface
SimMom® Birthing Simulator, with Laerdal-SonoSim Ultrasound Solution
SimBaby™ Simulator
Nursing Anne Simulator, with SimPad® PLUS and new scenarios
vSim® for Nursing Virtual Simulation

Laerdal Global Health (LGH) will also be located in the Laerdal booth, sharing innovative solutions that prepare nurses to meet challenges in today's complex healthcare environments. Both here and abroad, LGH is dedicated to helping save the lives of mothers and newborns by offering simple, affordable products and programs to help train birth attendants.

"Colleagues, each and every one of us is tied to a community around the world dedicated to promoting health, well-being and saving lives. By joining Laerdal's 'Buy one, Gift One' Program, you can share with nurses, caregivers, and midwives in developing countries who pursue the same values you do, but who lack the same resources," says Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN, CEO of the National League for Nursing.
