Exploring simulations effect on the theory practice gap: The graduate nurse experience

This study explores the use of simulation technology in pre-licensure programs in bridging the theory-practice gap for graduate nurses prior to entry to practice where the deficit is most acute. Simulation technology provides the ideal environment for students to integrate knowledge and practice in a risk-free and safe environment.

Effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation in improving student satisfaction and self-confidence with bedside shift report

A quantitative quasi-experimental project to determine the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation in improving student-satisfaction and self-confidence among nursing students while giving a bedside shift report. Training and practice with a standard bedside shift report as student nurses’ during simulations hastens their transition from novice to expert nurses.

Undergraduate student nurse ACLS Certification to improve practice transition and confidence

A code blue curriculum, including an ACLS certification, was designed to facilitate student confidence for transition into clinical practice. The 12-item Code Blue Self-Confidence survey was developed to measure code blue confidence in the undergraduate nursing student. An inverse correlation was discovered with student confidence and anxiety in critical events.

A multi-site study evaluating a VR game for reinforcing sterile catheter insertion skills

This multi-site study evaluated the usability of a virtual reality (VR) game with haptics for refreshing aseptic catheterization skills in 291 nursing students. Findings revealed that undergraduate nursing students are prepared to use and practice skills using VR and may practice and retain more key concepts when using VR.
