2. Learner Outcomes Upon completion of the presentation, the learner will be able to relate how simulation used in nursing education promotes safe care within society Upon completion of the presentation, the learner will be able to explain how simulation is used in nursing education Upon completion of the presentation, the learner will be able to define terminology used in simulation

3. Simulation Terminology Simulation: an event or situation made to resemble clinical practice as closely as possible (Jeffries, p. 8, 2007) Simulator: a machine that is used to show what something looks or feels like and is usually used to study something or to train people (Merriam- Webster, 2015) High-Fidelity Simulator: mannequins that can mimic “real life” situations are categorized as high-fidelity simulators (Alinier et al., 2006)

5. How Simulation is Used in Nursing Education Med-SurgPediatrics Community Health Mental Health OBCritical Care Simulation is also utilized in interdisciplinary education. Nursing students work with various healthcare disciplines, which solidifies their understanding about the other roles in healthcare as well as learn how to communicate with them. One of the major outcomes in interdisciplinary education is safer patient outcomes.

6. The Good, Bad, Beautiful, and Ugly About Simulation AdvantagesDisadvantages Uses experiential learning (Gillian et al., 2014) Strengthen student skills: collaboration, critical thinking, and clinical reasoning (Alinier, Hunt, Gordon, & Harwood, 2006) Provide a safe environment to learn (Stroup, 2014) Easy to evaluate and assess student skills (Gantt, 2013) Controlled enviornment Expensive to initially purchase and maintain Need to have adequate facilities to store and provide student experience Requires a simulation specialist or technician to run simulator Dedicated simulation educators should be utilized

7. Impact of Using Simulation in Nursing Education on Society… Better prepared new graduate nurses Culture of safety, self-awareness, and reflection Improved patient outcomes Enhanced communication across the various healthcare disciplines
