Student Developed and Led Simulation Scenarios

Use of simulation in teaching is well established as a viable educational technique. Flipped classroom techniques using technology have been shown to enhance and deepen knowledge of content. This educational innovation utilized both techniques in a second-semester prelicensure nursing course to allow students to gain a broader focus on complex patient scenarios and a better understanding of simulation as a teaching/learning tool. The project was an assigned simulation expectation for a medical-surgical nursing course. Students developed a simulation based on the care of patients from their clinical site.
