Liz McNeill became a midwife instead of having a midlife crisis, and therefore still calls herself an ‘old nurse/new midwife’. She is currently an Associate Lecturer in Nursing and Midwifery at Flinders University. Her critical care background and subsequent specialisation in simulation has enabled her creative and innovative sides to come out to play with her teaching, curriculum design and scholarship/research areas in both the nursing and midwifery areas. Liz teaches across the curriculums, including topics in science, clinical skills and research areas. Her focus in simulation is on the integration of a scaffolded approach across the curriculum inclusive of all levels of fidelity and technology, the effectiveness and application of simulation experiences as it related to preparation for clinical placement, and student stress in simulation.
