Psychiatric simulation: Improve outcomes and maintain course enrollment

Other Titles

Psychiatric simulation nursing education programs

Abstract

Nursing programs struggle to secure clinical sites for mental health (MH) nursing courses. The purpose of this educational project, PsychSim, was to explore outcomes related to transitions from traditional MH clinicals in the undergraduate MH nursing course to 50% simulation clinical replacement. Evaluations demonstrate improved outcomes compared to prior cohorts.
