CLINICAL SIMULATIONS FOR THE ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSE

This invaluable resource is the first simulation guide designed specifically to support the training and evaluation of advanced
practice nursing students, novice nurse practitioners, and advanced practice nurses transitioning to new fields. This book
provides a method and foundation to transform graduate nursing education to competency-based clinical evaluation,
empowering programs with standardized templates and interprofessional education options for each scenario to advance
graduate simulation education and research.
This comprehensive guide delivers more than 50 comprehensive simulation scenarios, written by experienced
APRNs, faculty, and simulation specialists. Scenarios are arranged by APRN specialty with applications for students,
faculty, standardized patients, staff development, and simulation staff who prepare the advanced practice nurse and their
interprofessional team for clinical practice. Not only is this text easy for faculty to use and implement, it also includes
several levels of application and offers strategies for adapting scenarios to an interprofessional setting.
Each simulation is structured into a consistent template for ease of use, which includes a description, objectives,
equipment needed, pre-briefing, debriefing, and interprofessional considerations. Additionally, each scenario includes
a one-page download designed for the Simulation Team focusing on "what happens" in a particular scenario. These
comprehensive simulations encompass a wide variety of physical health and mental health scenarios across the lifespan as
well as telehealth, critical care transport, and retail scenarios.
