• In Event: Posters - Thursday
  In Poster Session: Posters I - DSC

Short Description

Are nursing graduates able to make clinical judgments in a field where patients’ health issues are becoming more complex? A change is needed in nursing education to prepare nurses to become competent (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard & Day, 2010; del Bueno, 2005). This is a case study, with pre-licensure nursing students, using a high-fidelity simulation lab to provide an opportunity to develop clinical judgments in a safe environment.
