Background: Contemporary teaching modalities in nurse education include teaching clinical skills via telesimulation. The effectiveness of this modality has not been evaluated.
Objective: To evaluate undergraduate nursing students' and clinical facilitators' perceptions of student preparedness for placement when clinical skills are taught via role-play telesimulation using home equipment packs.
Aim: This study aims to better understand and articulate the pre-assessment judgement processes commonly used by experienced clinical facilitators when assessing nursing students undertaking clinical placement.
Background: In the Australian context, clinical facilitators are registered nurses who primarily educate, monitor, support and assess groups of nursing students on clinical placements without carrying a patient load. The duties and scope of clinical facilitators may differ across international and institutional contexts.
Simulation debriefing standards and models recommend simulation facilitators spend time debriefing learner feelings and clinical reasoning following the simulation scenario. Many debriefing models are available, more so in nursing than in paramedicine, however few models combine specific frameworks to debrief learner feelings and unpack cognitive decisions. The Two Phase Debrief model was designed to support debriefers to spend equal amounts of time debriefing learner felt reactions and clinical decision making, guided by specific tools and skills for each phase.

Few researchers have explored the social and cultural meanings of night nursing, including storytelling rituals. In 2019, a narrative study was undertaken.

Methods: Second and third year nursing students (N = 637) were invited to complete a 16-item 6-point Likert scale questionnaire after the simulation experience.
Results: Students reported high self-confidence in their nursing skills (M = 4.
