Background: Simulation is used in nursing curricula to augment or replace the traditional clinical practice experiences. Studies reported varying attitudes of nursing students to simulation-based learning. The aim of this study was to conduct an exploratory factor analysis of the Attitudes of Nursing Students to Simulation-Based Learning scale to be used to explore the nursing students' attitudes related to simulation.
Method: Data were collected online from 217 nursing students at a U.S. college of nursing and health from February to May 2015. Item analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed.
Results: The results showed that the 17-item scale consisted of two factors: clinical competency and effectiveness of the simulation-based learning. The Cronbach's alpha reliability of the scale was .91 and .90 for factor one and .70 for factor two.
Conclusion: The new scale can be used to measure nursing students' attitudes toward simulation. [J Nurs Educ. 2017;56(8):471-476.].

Advanced practice providers (APPs) experience limited clinical opportunities to perform neonatal procedures to maintain competency and hospital credentialing, especially high-acuity procedures that are extremely rare but crucial during patient emergencies. Incorporating simulation as part of continuing professional education can help APPs maintain clinical procedural competency and learn new procedural techniques to improve the quality and safety of procedures performed in the clinical setting. In 2013, we successfully developed and implemented an annual didactic and simulation-based neonatal procedural skills program.
