Abstract

There are currently many challenges to clinical nursing education. The coronavirus 2019 pandemic compounded these challenges when hospitals and government mandates excluded nursing students from traditional in-person clinical experiences. These barriers made it challenging to continue nursing education for prospective future nurses. While the current standard of practice is to employ in-person clinical, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing recognizes that up to 50 percent of traditional undergraduate nursing clinical hours can be replaced with high-quality simulation for nursing in the seven core nursing courses, including maternal-child. Educators were pressured to keep the education flow moving ahead for prospective new nurses, confronting an upcoming nurse shortage. Nursing innovation and technology allowed educators to pivot their traditional clinical teaching to screen-based simulation.
