When We Tell Our Truths
Why do we expect front-line nurses to be anti-racist and culturally safe when we still struggle with this from the comfort of our ergonomic chairs in our ivory towers? The front-lines nurses could at least claim the pressure and duress of acute medical situations or a stretched too thin health care system to justify their behaviours and their actions. Their biases and stereotypes still unacceptable, but what ’s our excuse? (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Simulation as a Disruptive Innovation in Advanced Practice Nursing Programs: A Report from a Qualitative Examination
The apprentice model for nursing clinical education and nurse practitioner (NP) education is well-established and believed to be the ‘gold standard’ of clinical learning. However, there is a lack of empirical data to support this model (Haerling& Prion, 2021; Harder, 2018; Leighton, Kardong-Edgren, McNelis, Foisy-Doll,& Sullo, 2021; Waxman, Bowler, Forneris, Kardong-Edgren,& Rizzolo, 2019). The use of simulation allows educators to provide contextually based learning experiences for NP education. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Holistic Patient Assessment in Simulated Clinical Experiences
A hallmark of the nursing profession is the attention nurses pay to the patient as a whole, rather than only to their physical being. Nursing care of the patient extends beyond physical concerns to address holistic components of the person (Patestos et al., 2019). The concept of holism in nursing practice dates to the time of Nightingale, who realized that environment played a role in healing (Patestos et al., 2019). Holism has been promoted by most nursing theorists including Orem, Neuman, Roy, Rogers, Parse, and Watson (Frisch& Rabinowitsch, 2019). (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Integrating Virtual Simulation into Nursing Education: A Roadmap
Nursing education has shifted from a content-focused curriculum to a competency-based curriculum (Schumacher& Risco, 2017). To ensure an effective focus on competency for both prelicensure and advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) education, experiential learning experiences that support competency need to be strategically embedded into the curriculum. Simulation is an effective form of experiential learning that helps learners develop competent cognitive and psychomotor skills by providing an opportunity for repetitive practice in a safe environment (Alanazi, Nicholson,& Thomas, 2017).

On the Other Side of Simulation: Evaluating Faculty Debriefing Styles
Healthcare simulation provides students with an opportunity to practice clinical skills, develop clinical reasoning and build confidence in a low-risk environment (Lapkin et al., 2010; Mould et al., 2011; Zapko et al., 2018). Debriefing are essential components of simulation. To support simulation development, pre-briefing needs to be conducted in a consistent manner (Chamberlain, 2015) at the beginning of the simulation, as this provides students with knowle dge of the simulation, their role and what is expected.

Pre-Brief in Simulation-Based Experiences: A Scoping Review of the Literature
Simulated learning has been widely adopted in a variety of disciplines. Health care is one of many disciplines that have been positively influenced by the uptake of simulation-based experiences (SBEs) in both pre-licensure and professional settings by enhancing learning and optimizing care delivery. An SBE is defined as structured activities designed to mimic scenarios or cases as a way to enhance learners ’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes by responding to a realistic situation in a simulated setting INACSL Standards Committee., 2016a).

Learning with Laughter: Implementing Engaging Virtual Simulation During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Clinical judgment is viewed as an essential skill of all health care professionals and is important for the provision of quality nursing care. Nursing students must have both requisite knowledge and skills to identify patient needs and implement appropriate nursing interventions. This includes the ability to notice and interpret assessment data, identify potential complications, respond, prioritize nursing care, and reflect (Tanner, 2006). Traditionally, facilitating the development of clinical judgment in nursing has been introduced in the classroom and practiced in the clinical setting with clinical instructor supervisio...

Hyflex Simulation: A Case Study of a Creative Approach to Unprecedented Circumstances
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we view much in our world. At the start of the pandemic, seemingly every aspect of life came to a halt. Health care workers quickly adapted the way they provided care and supported patients, while simultaneously protecting themselves. Education was forced to quickly move to remote learning. As fall approached, educators were tasked with moving forward amidst wide-spread quarantine orders, while ensuring high-quality learning and safety for all. While nursing students were able to attend some clinical rotations in healthcare agencies, mandated quarantines made attendance requirement...

Interprofessional Simulation Education and Nursing Students: Assessing and Understanding Empathy
Nursing education is an evolving curricular process, but one in which certain knowledge, skills, and practical experiences are key to preparing students to be effective in their early education and careers. This preparation is across multiple disciplines, but the ability to work with patients requires communication skills, compassion, understanding, and related trust-building abilities - all components of empathy and an approach to patient care (Fields, et al., 2011). This research study is focused on the empathy abilities of a cohort of undergraduate nursing students and if an interprofessional education (IPE) simulati...

Undergraduate Health Professional Students ’ Team Communication in Simulated Emergency Settings: A Scoping Review
Recognition and management of clinical deterioration in health care is considered an international priority. The evidence suggests that patients are harmed when systems of care are not in place or are not utilized effectively. Some reports indicate that up to 80% of medical errors in healthcare are associated with non-technical skills (Peddle et al., 2018). Non-technical skills (NTS), or behavioral skills, can be defined as social, cognitive and personal skills such as communication, teamwork, leadership, decision making and situation awareness (Cha et al., 2019; Cooper et al, 2010; Gordon et al., 2016).

The Missing Link: Cognitive Apprenticeship as a Mentorship Framework for Simulation Facilitator Development
The use of simulation-based education (SBE) as an educational tool for professional development within healthcare organizations is growing (Cheng et al., 2015). Within the healthcare context, SBE facilitators are generally busy clinicians or clinical educators who have numerous responsibilities and are unable to devote large amounts of time for participation in a formal faculty development program (Kumar et al., 2018; McGaghie et al.,20 10; Norquest& Sundberg, 2015). Typically, the clinicians or educators interested in SBE take a single introductory simulation workshop or course and then rely on their previous experi...

Utilizing Nursing Students for a Complex Role-Play Simulation
As clinical sites become more scarce, simulation is no longer seen as a luxury in nursing education, but it is rapidly becoming a necessity. Simulation allows students the opportunity to navigate complex patient scenarios while receiving faculty feedback to improve patient care. This evaluative feedback not only improves students ’ competence, but it assists in increasing their confidence as well (Zitzelsberger, Coffey, Graham, Papaconstantinou,& Anyinam, 2017). The use of high fidelity simulation (HFS) within undergraduate nursing education is a wonderful tool to assist learners with high acuity, low frequency scenario...

Virtual simulation for last-year nursing graduate students in times of covid-19: a quasi-experimental study
The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought about a change in our way of life, including traditional forms of health care education. As of March 2020, social distancing and/or confinement policies have been implemented worldwide. These measures have forced us to change our educational model, and carrying out hands-on health care activities, including practical courses for nursing students, is particularly problematic (Rose, 2020).
