Abstract
Currently, outside forces create blocks that affect the quality and quantity of clinical experiences for pre-licensure nursing students. These limitations create an environment in which entry-level nursing students enter the workforce without a solid foundation in nursing concepts or in exposure to situations that they might encounter. To counter this dilemma, the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) School of Nursing Center of Simulation created a simulation activity to allow participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in a simulated hospital environment while practicing skills to be used with future "real" patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the Simulated Hospital Day (SHD) on pre-licensure nursing students' knowledge and competency regarding specific nursing interventions performed throughout the SHD.
