Adapting a Distraction and Interruption Simulation for Safe Medication Preparation: An International Collaboration
Medication errors have two victims: patients directly harmed by the error, and nurses having harmed patients by making an error. For nursing students and new nurses, inexperience and distractions are chief factors leading to medication errors (Thomas, McIntosh,& Allen, 2014; Wolf, Hicks,& Serembus, 2006). Interruptions may include self-distraction, loss of focus, events occurring in close proximity, patients, other health care providers, phone calls, and texts (Hayes, Power, Davidson, Daly,& Jackson, 2015).

Clinical FACTS: Simulation and Clinical Faculty Time Study
Though simulation adoption increased after the National Simulation Study (Hayden, Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014), faculty workload requirements associated with implementing high-quality simulation are rarely reported (Blodgett, Blodgett,& Kardong-Edgren, 2018; Eisert& Geers, 2016). Only a handful of papers have addressed nursing faculty workload (Ellis, 2013; Waldrop& Chase, 2014), and none provided an industry-wide model for calculating workload (Natvig& Stark, 2016; West, 2017).

Augmented Reality in Nursing Education – A Pilot Study
Accurate physical skills are foundational for safe patient care. There are various teaching strategies employed to teach these specific skills in pre-licensure programs include: assessment of peers or standardized patients, the use of low and high-fidelity simulators, and computer-based virtual simulations (Jeffries, 2020). Recommendations have been suggested to improve nursing physical assessment education in core skills using alternative teaching approaches (Tan et al., 2021). The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of using augmented reality (AR) in nursing education by comparing the pe rformance ...

Prebriefing for Cultural Humility ©
Prebriefing is an essential component of simulation that prepares learners to participate and engage fully in the learning process. In 2021, the new Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice (HSSOBP) ™: Prebriefing: Preparation and Briefing were developed according to current evidence of best practices in learner preparation and briefing (INACSL Standards Committee, McDermott, Ludlow, Horsley,& Meakim, 2021). The overall purpose of prebriefing is to establish a psychologically safe simulation learning environment by situating the learners into a common mental model and conveying the ground rules for the simulati...

Implementation Methods of Virtual Reality Simulation and the Impact on Confidence and Stress When Learning Patient Resuscitation: An Integrative Review
Health care simulation has existed in various forms in tertiary education for more than four decades (Nehring& Lashley, 2009). Most commonly, simulation is performed in a hands-on environment where learners work in small groups to practice clinical skills preparing them for clinical practice. The emergence of virtual reality technologies, in the past decade, has offered a new and innovative approach to simulation training in health care (Williams, Jones,& Walker, 2018).

Human Trafficking Simulation in an Undergraduate Nursing Program
Human trafficking is a growing healthcare concern. It is defined as “the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel a person into commercial sex acts or labor against his or her will” (Polaris, 2021). A minor is considered a human trafficking victim regardless of the presence of force, fraud, or coercion. In 2019, the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline rep orted 22,236 individual survivors and a 20% increase in victims’ self-reporting. The true prevalence of human trafficking is unknown due to underreporting (Polaris, 2021) and the hidden nature of trafficking (Fraley, Aronowitz,& Stoklosa, 2020). (Source: Cl...

A Multimodal Approach to Training Coronavirus Disease (COVID ‐19) Processes Across Four Intensive Care Units
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has significant morbidity and mortality and is highly transmissible via respiratory droplets or direct contact (CDC, 2020; WHO, 2020). Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) such as bag mask ventilation, intubation and non-invasive ventilation increase health care providers’ exposure (HCPs) to pathogens. To maintain HCP safety, specific infection control measures, procedural and systems-based modifications are recommended for AGPs in patients with confirmed/suspected COVID-19 infection (Abulebda et al., 2020; Balikai et al., 2021; CDC, 2020; Edelson et al., 2020; Feldman, Meir, Sha...

Bouncing off Each Other: Experiencing Interprofessional Collaboration Through Simulation
Effective communication and collaboration in interprofessional healthcare teams contributes to improved patient outcomes and quality care (Wei, Corbett, Ray,& Wei, 2020). In contrast, ineffective communication reduces patient satisfaction, increases morbidity and mortality (Gregory, 2020), and increases the risk of patient safety incidents (Burgener, 2020). Establishing, building, and sustaining a culture of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is fundamental to improving healthcare quality, and safety. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Comparing the Learning Effectiveness of Three Virtual Simulation Tools with Nursing Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The first case of COVID-19 in North America was reported in the state of Washington in January 2020 (Holshue et al., 2020) leading to social distancing rules that barred our nursing students from engaging in clinicals, closed residence halls, and precluded face-to-face contact for the remaining Spring, 2020 semester. In response, and with the goal of maximizing teaching efforts, we developed various simulation initiatives, each addressing the specific didactic needs of two classes, to offset the loss of opportunities for clinical experience.

Creative Solutions for Complex Circumstances: The Utilization of Virtual Reality in a Specialty Course
The utilization of simulation in nursing education has been shown to have a positive impact on the development of critical thinking skills of nursing students and improved knowledge (Hayden, Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014). In 2014, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) discussed the increasing difficulties with clinical placements for prelicensure nursing students and described the use of simulation as a substitution for up to 50% compared to traditional clinical hours (Hayden et al., 2014).

Outcomes of Simulation-Based Experiences Related to Family Presence During Resuscitation: A Systematic Review
Providing the option for family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) aligns with professional recommendations across clinician disciplines (American Association of Critical-Care Nurses [AACN], 2016; Davidson et al., 2016; Kleinman et al., 2015; Vanhoy et al., 2019) and the core concepts of family-centered care (FCC; Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care [IPFCC], n.d.). Barriers to offering FPDR include lack of clinician know ledge, confidence, and experience (Powers, 2018); negative clinician attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions (Porter, Cooper,& Sellick, 2014; Twibell, Siela, Riwitis, Neal,& Waters...

Global Interprofessional Therapeutic Communication Scale © Short Form (GITCS©): Feasibility Testing in Canada
Validated instruments have the potential to provide guidance and play an important role in the assessment of communication because of the subjective nature of the complex constructs derived from human relationships. The Global Interprofessional Therapeutic Communication Scale © (GITCS©) was developed by Campbell and Aredes (2019) for health educators to facilitate the formative and summative evaluation of students' communication skills in simulation and clinical settings for both international and interprofessional students.
