Abstract:
Telehealth simulation-based experiences (T-SBEs) offer one approach to prepare nursing students with the requisite skills to deliver oncology evidence-based symptom management (EBSM) using telecommunication technology. Fourteen baccalaureate nursing students participated in this one-group, pretest/posttest, convergent mixed-methods pilot study with questionnaire variant. Data were collected before and/or after two oncology EBSM T-SBEs using standardized participants. The T-SBEs resulted in significant increases in self-perceived competence, confidence, and self-confidence in clinical decision-making related to oncology EBSM. Qualitative themes included value, application, and preference for in-person SBEs. Future research is warranted to definitively determine the effect of oncology EBSM T-SBEs on student learning.

Nursing Implementation
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
