Implementing Simple and Effective Simulation Experiences

Abstract

Implementing simple and effective nursing simulation experiences at the bedside or in a simulation center in a hospital setting can be an impactful way to enhance skill development, encourage critical thinking, and improve patient safety. However, there are often challenges and barriers to the bedside nurses participating in simulation in the hospital setting. Applying the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice will give the bedside nurse and educator consistency in implementing and planning effective simulations.
