Effectiveness of Simulation Best Practices in Nurse Practitioner Education.

Nurse educators are challenged to implement simulation best practices (SBP) in advanced practice curricula. Prebriefing and debriefing were implemented in a nurse practitioner course using software-generated asynchronous virtual simulation. A pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate simulation scores and debriefing experience in a convenience sample of 36 students.

Innovative use of a flipped-classroom approach to teach fundamental nursing skills.

Prelicensure nursing students are required to master fundamental nursing skills. The COVID-19 pandemic created challenges in maintaining excellence while teaching skill acquisition. The purpose of this study was to evaluate skill validation scores and student satisfaction and self-confidence using a flipped classroom approach and a low-fidelity simulation model to innovatively teach skill acquisition.

Learning and Transfer Effects of an Unfolding Case Study in an Adult Health Nursing Course.

There are few quantitative studies evaluating the impact of unfolding case studies on understanding and transfer of learning in nursing education. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an unfolding case study on undergraduate nursing students' learning outcomes. Teaching with unfolding case studies was compared to slide lecture using a pretest, posttest, and transfer test.
