Simulating Simulation: Promoting Perfect Practice With Learning Bundle–Supported Videos in an Applied, Learner-Driven Curriculum Design

Abstract 

In professional practice, patient safety hinges on accurate nursing assessment and surveillance, disciplined clinical reasoning, communication, and skilled interventions, as reported by the Institute of Medicine. While critical to patient safety, skilled interventions are often taught in isolation, with insufficient practice for mastery. To prevent such segregation, the learning-bundle approach uses a hybrid of appropriate learning tools supporting a weekly scaffolding of applied theory, lab, and clinical. Key to the success of this bundled approach is sufficient opportunity for deliberate practice with the creation of learner-driven perfect practice simulation videos.
