Adolescent Simulation in a Health Assessment Course for Advanced Practice Nursing Students

Nurs Educ Perspect. 2024 Jan 16. doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001230. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAdvanced practice registered nurse (APRN) students face challenges transitioning to practice. They benefit greatly from simulated learning experiences that build confidence and increase competence in the skills needed to perform in an APRN role. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a simulated adolescent well visit in an advanced health assessment course. Using a pretest/posttest design, qualitative and quantitative data were collected from participants. Results included high learner satisfaction, an increase in both self-reported competence and confidence, and an appreciation for the "safe space" of learning.PMID:38227615 | DOI:10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001230
