Session Abstract

Understand how new graduate nurses perceive the value of simulation in making the transition into professional practice. Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model is the framework.Themes emerged 1) how simulation is being used, 2) the perceived value of simulation, 3) simulation versus “real life,” and 4) simulation and preparation for practice.

Target Audience

Nursing educators or any educator that uses technology to teach skills/ or to enhance critical thinking in their students.

Learning Outcomes

Understand the role of simulation in education
Identify best practices for simulation
Recognize the impact of simulation on professional practice

Session Description

Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model serves as this study’s conceptual framework. For the current study, the sample consisted of 10 newly graduated, female nurses with less than one year of experience working in the hospital setting were interviewed. Data analysis included interviews and transcription by the researcher. Finally, participants were asked about themes to increase rigor. Four themes emerged from this research: 1) how simulation is being used, 2) the perceived value of simulation, 3) simulation versus “real life,” and 4) simulation and preparation for practice.
