Assessing a Pediatric Nursing Simulation with an Electronic Health Record, Video-Assisted Debrief, and Minimized Group Sizes
Simulated patient experiences are widely accepted as an effective teaching strategy for pre-licensure nursing students (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2008, 2011, 2021; Hayden, Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014). While there is adequate literature to support the use of simulated patient experiences as an effective teaching strategy, there remains variability in the delivery of simulation activities, and mixed literature support for the best strategies to utilize when developing and providing simulated patient experiences.

Simulation as a Knowledge Translation Strategy
Integrating research results into nursing education has been a long-standing point of discussion. In a 2021 integrative review that aimed to identify the factors that lead to the knowledge- practice gap, the authors highlighted several themes including personal factors, education structures, and organization characteristics (Gassas, 2021). While some are internal to the individual, there are others that should be of particular interest to simulationists in both academia and in healthcare institutions, mainly as these are elements that simulationists can and do have direct control over in the simulation environment.

Rethinking Clinical Practice Models: Lessons From the Flying Car
While listening to a podcast some time ago, the presenters were describing the evolution of the transportation industry, and were specifically discussing how we seem to become stuck with some ideas and become focused with making something “newer” and “better” without realizing that perhaps what we really need is something different. I cannot recall the name of the podcast, but what I do recall is the reference to the flying car. After the first vehicle powered by a gas engine was invented in 1886, 17 short years later, the fi rst successful powered airplane made its maiden voyage in 1903.

Short term effects of simulation training on stress, anxiety and burnout in critical care health professionals: before and after study
Anesthesia and Critical Care Medicine professionals are exposed to stressful situations with important personal and/or professional consequences (d ’Ettorre et al., 2021;Kain et al., 2002; Mion& Doppia, 2014; Mion, Libert,& Journois, 2013; Nyssen, Hansez, Baele, Lamy,& De Keyser, 2003). They have been shown to be particularly affected by the problems of stress, anxiety and burnout, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic (Cag et al., 2021; Rekatsina et al., 2020). There is a need to act and find sustainable solutions to help healthcare workers to deal with this situation. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Implementation of a Telephone-Triage Simulation-Based Experience Into Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum
Delivery of health care in the United States has shifted to a greater percentage of care provided outside the hospital, highlighting the need for nurses to develop skills necessary in non-acute care settings (Vanhook et al., 2018). Telephone triage is an essential outpatient/community nursing service to assist with acute health concerns, provide chronic illness management, and coordinate care (Vanhook et al., 2018). This service requires a unique and complex skillset to appropriately identify a patient's pr oblem, estimate the level of urgency, and provide advice to the patient over the phone (Haddad, Doherty,& Purti...

Screen-Based Simulation as a Novel Recertification Tool for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists
Certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) are advanced practice nurses that administer anesthesia to patients of all ages and across a wide variety of healthcare settings (American Association of Nurse Anesthetists [AANA], 2021). In the United States, there are nearly 60,000 CRNAs among the growing profession. Certification of CRNAs is granted by the National Board of Certification and Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists (NBCRNA) whose mission is to promote safe and high-quality anesthesia care through a credentialing program that fosters lifelong learning (NBCRNA, 2022a).

An International Multicenter Mental Health Standardized Patient Simulation on Nursing Students ’ Beliefs Toward Mental Health Conditions
Mental health conditions are on the rise worldwide, and this increase poses a serious issue for public health (National Institute of Mental Health, 2020; World Health Organization [WHO], 2021). Increased population with mental health conditions along with lack of financial resources for mental health services (Canady, 2019; Soygur, 2016; WHO, 2021), variations in availability of clinical placements, and chall enges when teaching and learning in a mental health clinical setting may contribute to stigmatizing views toward persons living with mental health conditions (Hsiao, Lu,& Tsai, 2015; Sengun Inan, Gunusen, ...

Context Matters: Factors Affecting Implementation of Simulation Training in Nursing and Midwifery Schools in North America, Africa and Asia
Opportunities to practice skills in clinical settings is a crucial component of nursing and midwifery education. (Davis et al., 2018; Marzalik, Feltham, Jefferson,& Pekin, 2018; Panda, Dash,& John, 2021) Limited clinical opportunities during training can create competency gaps for newly-graduated nurses. (Michel, Ryan,& Mattheus, 2021; Modarres, Geranmayeh, Amini,& Toosi, 2022; Ochylski, Aebersold,& Kuebric, 2017) An increasing number of schools worldwide are turning to simulation to increase opportunities for hands-on experiences.

How the Pandemic Impacted Simulation: Where Do We Go From Here?
During the global pandemic, there was a collective shift to transitioning in-person activities to the virtual environment. While this was a significant change for those who conducted in-person simulation events, there was also an ability to quickly translate in-person activities to the virtual environment. Simulationists had standards of best practices for simulation (INACSL, 2021) that provided a process for developing and implementing virtual simulation, with many having previous experience delivering virtual simulations in some capacity or another.

Can Simulation Predict NCLEX-RN Ⓡ Success?
For registered nurse graduates to practice, they must first pass a licensure examination to ensure they meet the minimum competency of safe entry-level practice. Passing the NCLEX-RN Ⓡ (National Council Licensure Examination - Registered Nurse) requires higher-order thinking and application of clinical judgment, both of which can be supported in simulation experiences (Bristol, 2018). Computer-based predictor exams are utilized throughout nursing programs across the country, to identify students who are likely to pass NCLEX-RNⓇ, or those who may require targeted remediation to prepare them for success.

A Comparative Study of Debriefer Versus Debriefee Distance Simulation Engagement
Most educators design educational experiences for their learners with a goal of achieving learner engagement, a component widely viewed as necessary for meaningful learning. However, minimal clarity exists on the definition, conceptualization, and measurement strategies of engagement (Padgett, Cristancho, Lingard, Cherry,& Haji, 2019). Further, when designing curriculum, including simulation-based education, these same educators work from their own perceptions of what is engaging for learners. Without an understanding of how learner and educator perceptions of engagement compare, learning experiences may be less effectiv...

Standardized Patient Simulation for More Effective Undergraduate Nursing Education: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
The health care environment is changing rapidly, and medical technology is developing continuously. Thus, nurses must have high-level problem-solving and communication skills to care for patients with complex health problems (Fogg, Kubin, Wilson,& Trinka, 2020). However, observation-based training in clinical settings has become limited due to time constraints, patient privacy protection and infection control issues, and increasing demands for medical services (Hayden, Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014; Lim, 2015).

Using Standardized Patient Simulation in Undergraduate Nursing Education: A Scoping Review
Nursing students need to master a significant amount of knowledge, skills, and attitudes as part of their professional nursing education. Providing reliable exposure to all essential competencies can be a challenge. Simulation in various formats has been used as an effective adjunct to supervised clinical practice (Svellingen, Søvik, Røykenes,& Bratteb ø, 2021). INACSL (International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning), ASPE (Association of Standardized Patient Educators), and SSH (Society of Simulation in Health Care) defined the standardized patient (also known as the simulated patient) as a pe...

Use of Screen-Based Simulation in Nursing Schools in France: A National, Descriptive Study
In nursing education, clinical simulation as a pedagogy is well recognized (Bogossian et al., 2018; Kable et al., 2018; National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2016). Not only does it promote learning in a safe environment (Cant& Cooper, 2017; Cooper, Sussex,& Bogossian, 2019; Peddle, Mckenna, Bearman,& Nestel, 2019), it enhances learning outcomes for healthcare students such as nurses (Hayden, Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014). Simulation replicates clinical scenarios and engages students to foster clinical competence (Lioce et al., 2020). (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Evolution of a Simulation Design Template at a Canadian Academic Hospital
Simulation based education (SBE) requires design that is focused and based on objectives while being adaptable to meet the needs of various levels of learners (Watts et al., 2021). A template serves as a guide for development, implementation, and evaluation of a simulation scenario. It's a model for delivering a SBE lesson plan where major components of a scenario can be outlined (Benishek et al., 2015). Simulation templates (STs) provide a standardized fra mework that can be used by several simulation facilitators to deliver consistent, high quality simulation scenarios multiple times within an education program or c...
