A Scaffolded Simulation Curriculum: Translating Simulation with Standardized Patient Encounters into Clinical Practice for Nurse Practitioner Students

The new emphasis on competency-based education (CBE) is an opportunity for nurse educators to evolve methods of education delivery and assessment. CBE focuses on the outcomes of an educational experience aiming to foster learning and behavior change (AACN, 2021). To achieve competence, a learner must possess an “array of abilities (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) across multiple domains or aspects of performance in a certain context” (AACN, 2021, pg. 56). One area that remains a challenge is determining competency achievement in advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) clinical education.
