Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education: Advanced Concepts, Trends, and Opportunities

Awarded second place in the 2023 AJN Book of the Year Awards in the Adult Primary Care category and third place in the Nursing Education/Professional Development category! In today's quickly changing healthcare environment, simulation has become an indispensable strategy for preparing nursing students to deliver optimal patient care. Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education: Advanced Concepts, Trends, and Opportunities, Second Edition, takes the use of simulations to the next level, exploring innovative teaching/learning methods, new clinical models, and up-to-date best practices for providing high-quality education. From the evolution of clinical simulations to the use of more virtual simulations, incorporation of important constructs such as the social determinants of health, and the use of simulations in nursing education and competency-based testing, this engaging resource continues to provide intermediate and advanced simulation users and advocates with critical considerations for advancing simulation in nursing education. The comprehensive updated second edition focuses on the latest trends and concepts in simulation pedagogy to help nurse educators confidently prepare for their role in developing, planning, implementing, evaluating, and conducting research for effective simulation programs.

Throughout the years, Pam Jeffries, who brought us the first edition of this outstanding volume, has been a constant in simulation leadership and research. Now years later, this second edition takes us to an even deeper level, including chapters about diversity and cultural humility, debriefing for clinical judgment and competence, curricular integration, and advancing clinical judgment through simulation. ... If you want to maximize student learning through simulation and cutting-edge technology, this book is for you. -Kathie Lasater, EdD, RN, FAAN, ANEF Professor Emerita Oregon Health and Science University Portland, Oregon
