Abstract

There has been a significant amount of research regarding simulation use in nursing education; however, there is limited research available regarding the replacement of traditional clinical with simulated clinical. This research included a mixed-method design formulated to determine Pennsylvania Practical Nursing Programs' current simulation usage and Pennsylvania Practical Nursing Directors', Assistant Administrators', and Faculty Members' perceptions regarding replacing a portion of traditional clinical with simulated clinical. An 18-item electronic questionnaire was delivered to 309 potential respondents via the Qualtrics electronic survey distribution system, with 191 responding.
