Learner Outcomes
Upon completion of the presentation, the
learner will be able to relate how simulation
used in nursing education promotes safe
care within societyUpon completion of the
presentation, the learner will be able to explain how simulation is used in nursing education
Upon completion of the presentation, the learner
will be able to define terminology used in
simulation
Simulation Terminology•Simulation: an event or situation made to
resemble clinical practice as closely as possible (Jeffries, p. 8, 2007)
•Simulator: a machine that is used to show what something looks or feels like and is usually used to study something or to train people (Merriam-Webster, 2015)
•High-Fidelity Simulator: mannequins that can mimic “real life” situations are categorized as high-fidelity simulators (Alinier et al., 2006)
Introduction to Simulation in Nursing Education

How Simulation is Used in
Nursing Education
Med-Surg Pediatrics Community Health
Mental Health OB Critical
Care
Simulation is also utilized in interdisciplinary education. Nursing students work with various healthcare disciplines, which solidifies their understanding about the other roles in healthcare as well as learn how to communicate with them. One of the major outcomes in interdisciplinary education is safer patient outcomes.
The Good, Bad, Beautiful, and Ugly About Simulation
Advantages Disadvantages
Uses experiential learning (Gillian et al., 2014)
Strengthen student skills: collaboration, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning (Alinier, Hunt, Gordon, & Harwood, 2006)
Provide a safe environment to learn (Stroup, 2014)
Easy to evaluate and assess student skills (Gantt, 2013)
Controlled enviornment
Expensive to initially purchase and maintain
Need to have adequate facilities to store and provide student experience
Requires a simulation specialist or technician to run simulator
Dedicated simulation educators should be utilized
Impact of Using Simulation in Nursing Education on Society…
Better prepared new
graduate nurses
Culture of safety, self-awareness,
and reflection
Improved patient
outcomes
Enhanced communication across the
various healthcare disciplines
