Hour 1: Simulation: What is it and what makes it work?
Identified Gap(s): Simulation is an evidence-based teaching and evaluation strategy widely used in nursing education. However, the evidence demonstrates that simulation only effectively replaces face-to-face clinical experiences when they are framed by the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM (HSSOBPTM).
Hour 2: Hands on with the New Sim Standards (HSSOBP)
Finding appropriate virtual simulation products to supplement or replace clinicals can be overwhelming. In this session, attendees will learn how to use OADN VSR to explore virtual simulation products and use the new Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM to determine the products’ suitability for their program.
Hour 3: Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity
The third hour will focus on the fourth workshop objective: Upon completion, participants will have the knowledge to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) virtual simulation experiences into the nursing curriculum. This session will explore how integration of DEI concepts apply to traditional and concept-based curriculum as well as how it supports accreditation standards. A specific product will be showcased on how this free virtual simulation product supports DEI initiatives and what criterion of the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM: Simulation Design are supported using this product. Other resources will also be identified from virtual simulation products reviewed by the OADN Simulation Task Force.
Hour 4: The Simulation Advantage for Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)
Simulation is uniquely positioned to help students prepare for NGN by providing clinical cues that inform the appropriate clinical judgment. In this final hour, facilitators will demonstrate how to replicate NGN item-type questions using virtual simulations.
