One Simulated Skills Checkoff is Still Not Enough: Foley Catheterization Skill Performance Among Undergraduate Nursing Students

Nurse educators continue to seek effective methods to teach psychomotor skills to nursing students. Nursing schools typically teach students to perform psychomotor skills in a skills laboratory, allow students to practice the skill, then faculty observe students perform the skill to assess whether the student is safe to perform the skill in the clinical setting. Skills performed poorly in the clinical setting can cause harm to patients. Effective skill performance can decrease costly medical errors and infections, thereby improving patient safety (Aldridge, 2017).
