A new collaborative simulation experience (CSE) for nursing students effectively reduced anxiety and improved self-confidence before their first clinical rotation. This simulation enhanced knowledge transfer and allowed faculty to assess student readiness for patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Medical Simulation

Background:

  • Beginning nursing students often experience anxiety and low self-confidence.
  • Difficulty transferring theoretical knowledge to clinical practice is common.
  • Pre-clinical experiences are crucial for student development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a collaborative simulation experience (CSE) on nursing students.
  • To address pre-clinical anxiety, self-confidence, and knowledge transfer issues.
  • To assess the effectiveness of CSE in preparing students for clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a collaborative simulation experience (CSE) for first-semester undergraduate nursing students.
  • CSE was conducted prior to the students' initial clinical day.

  • Faculty utilized the experience to identify student strengths and weaknesses.

    • Main Results:

    • CSE provided real-life patient care exposure.
    • Enhanced transfer of theoretical knowledge to practical skills.
    • Decreased student anxiety and increased self-confidence.
    • Facilitated faculty identification of student learning needs.

    Conclusions:

    • Collaborative simulation experiences are beneficial for pre-licensure nursing students.
    • CSE effectively bridges the gap between theory and clinical practice.
    • Participation in CSE leads to improved student performance and readiness for clinical settings.
