Virtual SUN: Turn Your Clinical Time into Simulation Time. Many States Approve!
The availability of traditional supervised clinical experiences have become increasingly limited. More and more, nurse educators have turned to a groundbreaking study published by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) for the answer. That study found that up to half of traditional clinical hours in pre-licensure nursing programs can be replaced safely by high-quality patient scenarios in the form of simulations for nursing students. Many state Boards of Nursing approve!
Hear from Dr. Suzan Kardong-Edgren, Rochelle Quinn, and Henry Henao about how the NCSBN Study continues to be center stage and about how simulation is being substituted for clinical hours with great success. Dr. Kardong-Edgran is one of the authors of the study. She and other guests will be sharing tips with you on how you can use simulation to your advantage.
Topics will include:
- What did the NCSBN Study conclude and why
- How the COVID-19 Pandemic accelerated the substitution of simulation for clinical time
- What states are allowing the substitution, and which still are not
- Best practices for the use of simulation to replace clinical time
- Special considerations that simulationists might want to look out for
- Some brief success stories
- Live Q&A
If you work in nursing education and are exploring ways to replace traditional supervised clinical experiences where opportunities are limited, this Virtual SUN is for you. Originally broadcast on June 7, 2022.
