Abstract

Implementing what is learned in the classroom into clinical practice is an important aspect of nursing. According to Koontz, Mallory, Burns, and Chapman (2010) the clinical environment is one of the most valuable experiences for the student nurse. Learning is an active and reflective process and simulation allows for the practice of procedures as often as needed to gain confidence and proficiency (Guise, Chambers, & Valimaki, 2012). The project was a systematic review of literature that examined quantitative research studies that utilized a pretest and posttest study design to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation regarding critical thinking skills in the undergraduate student nurse and the new graduate nurse.
