The document provides an overview of the nursing simulation program at Holy Family University. It discusses guidelines, policies, and forms used in simulation, including components of scenarios, schedules, paperwork, and debriefing guidelines. The goals of simulation are to embed it in the nursing curriculum and provide incremental experiences from simple to complex. Challenges include inexperienced faculty needing education to facilitate simulation effectively. Benefits of simulation include teaching skills, introducing concepts, and improving critical thinking. Labs are available for open practice hours to support student learning.

4. Challenge as Educators …
All health professionals should be educated to deliver
patient patient-team, evidence-practice, approaches,
informatics. centered care as members of an
interdisciplinary team emphasizing evidence based
practice quality improvement approaches , and informatics

5. Clinical Courses Have Clinical Simulation
Experiences
National Council of State Boards of Nursing Annual Meeting Aug 2014
Hayden, J., et al, (2014)
 Up to 50% simulation can be effectively substituted for traditional clinical experience
in all core courses across the prelicensure nursing curriculum.
 2.50% simulation can be effectively used in various program types, in different
geographic areas in urban and rural settings with good educational outcomes.
Purpose of Simulation at Holy Family University School Nursing Programs
 Teach basic skills
 Introduce new concepts – building on psychomotor skills
 Improve critical thinking
 Incorporate Quality and Safety Education in Nursing
 BSN Essentials and leading to NCLEX©RN success

6. Goals of Simulation at Holy Family
University Nursing Programs
 Embed simulation into
the nursing curriculum
 Each simulation
experience builds on the
proceeding one ---
simple to complex
 200 - 300 - 400 - 600
courses focus on
incremental roles
nursing student at the
bedside to leadership /
nurse managers
 Provide faculty with
education needed to be
successful in utilizing
simulation as a teaching
strategy*
