Simulation-Focused Pedagogy for Nursing Education
Simulation Scenarios for Nurse Educators: Making it REAL
(2018)
Abstract
The incorporation of interprofessional simulations for team training and patient safety are recognized as equally important and need to be considered in every nursing education program. The authors of this chapter feel that simulation offers an innovative approach that complements and easily integrates into the existing nursing curricula, addressing the needs of a new generation of nurses and a society with increasingly complex health care needs. In order to fully appreciate the incorporation of simulation and the driving forces behind this movement, one needs to recognize that the challenges include understanding issues facing nursing education, the influence of technology on theoretical and conceptual aspects of nursing education, learning in the digital culture, and the challenge of suspending disbelief to make simulations real. In order for a transfer of knowledge to occur, the student’s role in the simulation needs to be as authentic as possible.
