Simulation represents an increasingly effective strategy for addressing the growing lack of clinical placements for today’s nursing students, offering evidence-based, experiential learning opportunities that foster critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Simulation in Nursing Education: From Conceptualization to Evaluation, Third Editionprovides both a foundation for the novice and advanced strategies for the seasoned simulation educator, empowering nursing educators to make informed decisions and ensure success in their simulation programs. Structured around the NLN Jeffries Theory (2015), this updated edition highlights current best practices in simulation design and development, teaching and learning practices, implementation processes and associated learning outcomes. Seven new chapters reflect recent advances and emerging concepts across the full spectrum of simulation strategies, including pre-briefing of simulations, creating simulation cases for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCES) for graduate nursing programs and the use of virtual simulations and gaming to engage students. “In Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education, 3rd Edition, Dr. Jeffries continues to highlight best practices in simulation pedagogy...This edition explores how educators and researchers are joining forces to develop more rigorous research studies, testing simulation outcomes across the continuum of education and practice at all levels.” -Susan Gross Forneris, PhD, RN, CNE, CHSE-A, FAAN Director, NLN Center for Innovation in Education Excellence

The NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory, Second Edition establishes the substantive foundation essential for research, education, and practice, and advances knowledge in the area of simulation. Created through a systematic process involving robust research and literature review, along with nursing perspectives from those immersed in simulations, this work can be an effective tool or guide to implementation as well as further research. This Second Edition provides an updated review of the theory, which explains the phenomenon of simulation, presents an updated systematic review of the theoretical constructs and uses of the theory, and highlights future research needs in the area of clinical simulation. This mid-range theory provides a way to study the phenomenon of simulation that can facilitate the exploration of best practices, outcomes, and system change through research and development that will contribute further to the discovery of new knowledge and practices.

Authored by expert simulation researchers, educators, nurse practitioner faculty, and clinicians, A Practical Guide for Nurse Practitioner Faculty Using Simulation in Competency-Based Education looks at topics related to simulation design, development, and implementation for nurse practitioner and other graduate-level nursing programs. The new educational requirements based on the AACN Essentials and move to competency-based outcomes require nursing graduates to provide documented skill competencies to care for all types of patients in all types of diverse healthcare settings. Whether a graduate is working in acute care, primary care, or within the community, clinical simulations serve as a vital approach to creating student-centered, experiential learning that engages and prepares the graduate for real-world practice. Once the exception, clinical simulations are becoming more commonplace in nurse practitioner programs. This book supports nurse practitioner faculty as they learn new pedagogy and teaching strategies using clinical simulations. It focuses on developing and preparing nurse educators and superusers of simulations as they create, implement, and evaluate this pedagogy in nurse practitioner education. Table of Contents CHAPTER 1 State of the Science of Clinical Simulations in NP Education CHAPTER 2 Theoretical Frameworks for Simulation Design, Development, and Implementation CHAPTER 3 Competency-Based Nursing Education CHAPTER 4 Student-Centered Learning in NP Education CHAPTER 5 Integration of Simulation in the NP Curriculum CHAPTER 6 Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™ and Nurse Practitioner Education CHAPTER 7 Attainment of Competency Through Simulation: The ACTS Model CHAPTER 8 Simulation Operations CHAPTER 9 Methods and Models for Debriefing in Graduate Clinical Education CHAPTER 10 Working with Standardized and Simulated Patients CHAPTER 11 Assessment and Evaluations in Simulation CHAPTER 12 Simulation to Prepare Nurse Practitioner Students for Role Transition CHAPTER 13 The Future of Graduate Nurse Practitioner Education: A Case for Simulation
