It is challenging for nurse educators to prepare nursing
students to function effectively and safety while providing nursing
care in a complex health system
Studies have shown that nursing students and new graduate nurses
lack critical thinking skills, clinical judgement, &
competencies
Student performance was evaluated with a 2-4 patient assignment
in the nursing simulation laboratory, mirroring a realistic
patient-care assignment
A debriefing took place after each scenario to recommend
strategies to improve practice upon transition to the actual work
setting
Student competencies were improved with the use of innovative
technology which supports the use of simulation as a learning
strategy to develop critical thinking skills
