Abstract
As a nursing student I have been involved in countless simulations throughout my time in the BYU nursing program. All have been different, challenging, and enlightening, helping me to learn the art of nursing. However, I noticed, as I became a facilitator of these simulations that very often students don’t remember very much about the scenario or the patients they work with. I began to think about this and how we could help students understand what they learn in simulations to help them remember more about the scenarios and their patients. It was at the National Student Nurses Conference that I saw a study done at another school concerning charting after simulations. That’s when it hit me, we don’t chart after our simulations! I chose to study charting, because I believed it was an area of our simulation curriculum that needed to be implemented to potentiate the positive benefits of simulation. The results I got from my research are very interesting and will have a profound impact on simulation in the future.
