Nursing Clinical Simulation with Multi-Patient Scenarios

Session Submission Type: Best Practices Forum

Abstract

Conference Proposal Best Practices Forum: Abstract
Clinical simulation is a wonderful way to enhance student preparation for clinical nursing practice. Students can practice nursing skills and clinical reasoning in a safe learning environment. One area of clinical simulation that has been less developed in nursing education is providing opportunities for a student to care for more than one patient at a time. Incorporating the multiple-patient simulation can assist students to enhance delegation, prioritization, and teamwork. This session will explore how to develop and implement this method of simulation.
