How Often do BSN Students Participate in Pediatric Critical Events during Simulation and Hospital Rotations?

Questions Regarding Substitution of Simulation for Clinical

“…With the expanded use of simulation, nurse educators have increasingly questioned not only the value of simulation, but the value of traditional supervised clinical experience. Time on task studies reveal that students are more engaged during simulation and also more likely to accomplish learning tasks related to QSEN competencies when compared with the same students' activities during a supervised clinical experience (Cooper, Prion, & Pauly-O'Neill, 2015;Pauly-O'Neill, Prion, & Lambton, 2013). As researchers continue to wrestle with the question about what ratio should be used to count simulation hours used to replace traditional supervised clinical, it is important to identify which teaching strategy aligns best with which learning needs and design curricula that exploit the strengths of all available resources.…”
