Abstract:
Nursing programs are challenged to develop innovative approaches for admitting more students while providing a quality education that prepares them for safe practice. A clinical teaching model using simulation was developed as an innovative way to improve intraprofessional collaboration among junior- and senior-level nursing students. Students enrolled in Adult Health, Critical Care, and Management clinical courses rotate into the simulation lab throughout the semester. These experiences, with modified standardized simulations and simulations developed by faculty, have assisted students with teamwork, effective communication skills, delegation, and prioritization of care.
