Highlights
- •The National Council State Boards of Nursing Simulation Guidelines is a framework to survey simulation programs.
- •Statewide survey findings of prelicensure simulation practices are discussed.
- •Key areas for faculty development informed a statewide simulation curriculum.
Abstract
Background
The need to identify critical areas for faculty and program development in simulation-based
education (SBE) is evident as nursing programs move toward clinical redesign.
Method
The design was a descriptive mixed method study using a structured interview process
with a survey based on the NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Prelicensure Nursing Programs.
Simulation coordinators were interviewed at 25 prelicensure nursing programs in one
mid-Atlantic state.
Results
The findings revealed key areas for faculty and program development: theory, standards,
methods, curriculum integration, debriefing and evaluation.
Conclusions
The NCSBN guidelines were effective in assessing simulation programs identifying important
elements in the development of a statewide curriculum for SBE.
