Nurs Educ Perspect. 2021 Nov-Dec;42(6):374-376. doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000000798.

Abstract

A statewide simulation assessment was conducted in one southeastern state using the Program Assessment Survey for Simulation. Simulation coordinators from 22 prelicensure nursing programs were interviewed. The findings revealed several areas where faculty education was needed: theory, design, facilitation, debriefing, interprofessional education, and evaluation. A free online simulation fundamentals course was effective in addressing the areas where education was required.
