Abstract

Identified learning outcomes when using high-fidelity simulators in a nursing lab are 1) improving communication, 2) increasing psychomotor skills, 3) understanding classroom material, 4) developing critical thinking, and 5) facilitating teamwork (Bambini, Washburn, & Perkins, 2009; McGaghie, Issenberg, Petrusa, & Scalese, 2006). Nursing students in each semester develop different learning outcomes. Communication, improving nursing skills, and developing critical thinking are outcomes of simulation for novice students (Bambini et al.). However, data is limited on outcomes of simulation for other levels of nursing students. The purpose of this study is to determine students’ perceptions regarding learning outcomes and their development throughout the simulation experiences in the nursing program.
