Simulation has grown exponentially in nursing to help students and nurses in practice engage in teamwork to think critically, problem-solve, and enhance clinical proficiency and patient care within a safe environment. Low-fidelity manikins have been integral to nursing education for many years. The emergence of high-fidelity manikins and complex technologies in the past 20 years has enabled educators to engage students in complex scenarios and prepare them for practice. Nurse Educator has published many articles on simulation that address diverse educational and clinical contexts. Todayâs podcast on virtual reality with Greta Mitzova-Vladinov, DNP, CRNA, CHSE, APRN, celebrates simulation as a high-impact teaching strategy and the educators who prepare the scenarios.

Expert modeling videos (EMVs) have shown promise in improving studentsâ performance in simulation. Using a quasi-experimental design, students in a medical surgical nursing course (n = 160) viewed either an expert model demonstration video (experimental) or expert model discussion video (control). Students who viewed the demonstration video performed at a higher level of competency in 11 of the 18 behaviors on the Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument. Dr. Tracy Dodson shares the results of this study and discusses implications for teaching in nursing.

Nursing programs strain to develop instructional tools that are efficient and effective, without undo time commitments by faculty. One way to enhance clinical reasoning skill development is to create case-based learning events that focus on developing and measuring clinical judgment skills. In this podcast and teaching tip, Dr. Bev Wilgenbusch presents a teaching tool that faculty can use to promote critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment in their students.

Varying the situational context in a patient case scenario allows nursing students to demonstrate critical thinking during a routine skills demonstration. In this podcast, youâll hear how a team of nurse educators (Drs. Amy Jauch, Sandy Mulholland, and Jennifer Nieves) used video recordings to capture observable evidence of undergraduate studentsâ critical thinking processes. The instructors used the videos to provide students with opportunities to reflect on their performance of skills in different patient-care scenarios and articulate the reasoning behind their actions. Read the article describing how you can use a similar strategy to assess psychomotor skills and clinical judgment while guiding student reflection on their learning progress.

Technology is pivotal in nursing education, but persistent barriers hinder technologyâs full integration in nursing programs. Drs. Will Brewer and Ann-Marie Irons discuss barriers and facilitators to the use of technology in nursing education. They surveyed 1,761 nursing faculty members in prelicensure programs about their views on technology, barriers, training needs, and importance of technology in the classroom and simulation. Faculty highlighted financial support, commitment, and administrative support as critical for technology adoption. Additionally, time in the classroom was noted as a significant barrier. Overcoming financial constraints and enhancing faculty buy-in are essential for successful technology integration. Learn more about their survey and methodology in their article.
