AI Article Synopsis

  • Limited clinical sites and a shortage of teaching faculty have prompted the need for innovative teaching methods in nursing education.
  • The article discusses a simulation experience designed to enhance graduate nursing students' understanding of clinical teaching practices by creating realistic scenarios involving patients and undergraduate nursing students.
  • Positive evaluations indicate that this simulation approach effectively improved students' knowledge, performance, self-confidence, critical thinking, and overall satisfaction in preparing them to become clinical faculty.

Article Abstract

Limited clinical sites and faculty to teach graduate students to be undergraduate clinical faculty have led to the exploration of innovative teaching strategies. This article describes and evaluates a simulation experience to supplement didactic learning about best clinical teaching practices within a graduate nursing course. Scenarios were created to simulate complex teaching situations with a patient, an undergraduate nursing student, and a clinical faculty member. Evaluations were positive regarding knowledge, performance, self-confidence, critical thinking, and satisfaction. Results of this project support the use of simulation in the preparation of graduate nursing students to become clinical faculty.
