Description
Summary:Professionalism and safety in patient care are concepts nurses are expected to exhibit in practice. High fidelity simulation was explored to assist in teaching students the behaviors needed to succeed in nursing. Nursing leaders identified areas in which graduates struggle, including critical thinking, skills acquisition, time management, role responsibilities, delegation, and effective communication. The project's purpose was to analyze students' perceptions regarding professional nursing values, identify gaps in knowledge concerning professional behavior, and determine perception change of professional values. A pretest post-test simulation intervention was chosen. Improvement in communication and autonomy was noted with statistically significant findings.
