Simulation in Nursing Education: From Conceptualization to Evaluation

by Pamela R. Jeffries

Simulation in some form has probably been used as a teaching strategy in nursing education since the first nurse tried to teach the first nursing student how to do a task properly. As our understanding of teaching and learning progressed, so did the simulations that were used. This book, the first of its kind for nurse educators, is the work of an innovative, creative group of nurse educators from all types of programs who wished to share what they learned during the course of a three-year multisite project that tested simulation models and contributed to the refinement of the body of knowledge related to the use of simulation in nursing education. We hope this book provides a pathway to help nursing faculty harness and shape the learning environments of tomorrow in order to create meaningful, realistic, and evidence-based experiences for their students.

I made it about a third of the way through this book, which I was reading to inform my work (developing content for virtual nursing simulations). This is a great reference, but I just don't have the time or need to continue with it right now during work hours (and I don't have the energy to read it during my off hours!).
