Simulation to Prepare Graduate Nursing Students for Clinical Faculty Role
[2023-06-16 12:20:49]
Limited clinical websites and teachers will teach graduate students as undergraduate teachers, which has led to the search for innovative educational strategies. In this article I will explain and evaluate the simulation experience to complement the education of the best clinical educational practice at the postgraduate care course. The scenario was created to simulate complex educational situations of patients, undergraduates, and clinical instructors. Evaluation is positive about knowledge, performance, confidence, critical thinking, and satisfaction. The results of the project support the use of simulation to become a clinical instructor in the preparation of graduate school nursing students

Graduate school education in nursing professionals is usually expected as a preparation for a role as a full-time faculty member. Graduate school education in nursing professionals is usually expected as a preparation for a role as a full-time faculty member. Instructors at entry level nursing programs are expected to have "graduate level academic preparation and sophisticated expertise in the content areas they teach" (AACN, 2008 c). This expectation is consistent with most nursing courses offered by community colleges, technical colleges and universities (2007 national national nursing committee). However, individual school standards, national care committees, and specialized agencies will also affect the academic preparation needed by the teacher in certain circumstances. Therefore, depending on the position of the teacher, it may be necessary to prepare various levels of academic preparation. Master's and doctoral programs usually include a small group concentration and / or educational track or focus area in the degree program (Billings, 2003).
