Simulation
Simulation is frequently used teaching methodology in nursing education and staff development learning environments. Simulation is valued for its ability to provide realistic, context-rich experiential learning in a safe environment. From simulated patients, to low and high fidelity manikins, to virtual reality, each context provides a unique perspective and can facilitate learning and evaluation of patient care situations along the continuum of care. The NLN, in collaboration with Laerdal Medical and Wolters-Kluwer Health, is a recognized leader in simulation development, from unfolding simulations to simulation faculty development courses and virtual simulation scenario development. To promote professional development in this area, the NLN offers a variety of sophisticated resources and activities.
