"Authored by expert simulation researchers, educators, nurse practitioner faculty, and clinicians, A Practical Guide for Nurse Practitioner Faculty Using Simulation in Competency-Based Education looks at topics related to simulation design, development, and implementation for nurse practitioner and other graduate-level nursing programs. The new educational requirements based on the AACN Essentials and move to competency-based outcomes require nursing graduates to provide documented skill competencies to care for all types of patients in all types of diverse healthcare settings. Whether a graduate is working in acute care, primary care, or within the community, clinical simulations serve as a vital approach to creating student-centered, experiential learning that engages and prepares the graduate for real-world practice. Once the exception, clinical simulations are becoming more commonplace in nurse practitioner programs. This book supports nurse practitioner faculty as they learn new pedagogy and teaching strategies using clinical simulations. It focuses on developing and preparing nurse educators and superusers of simulations as they create, implement, and evaluate this pedagogy in nurse practitioner education"-- Provided by publisher.
