Abstract
The NCSBN simulation study of 2014 provided evidence that substituting high-quality simulation experiences for traditional clinical hours results in comparable educational outcomes. The authors present the results of a mixed-methods study and discuss the role that virtual patient simulations play in improving the preparation of pre- and post-licensure baccalaureate students.
