Abstract

Background

The effectiveness of in situ basic life support (BLS) practice in the acute care setting with entry-level and advanced practice nurses has been explored; however, little is known about the potential impact simulating these same drills could have with entry-level nursing students.

Aim

This quality improvement project aimed to enhance an existing simulation experience and further explore student perception and team performance with simulated BLS drills in entry-level nursing curriculum.

Methods

Existing BLS drills were restructured to include a standardized procedure that included hands-on practice and deliberate debrief facilitated by faculty. Data were collected to explore the impact of this standardized approach on the students’ self-rated confidence in performing BLS skills and team performance in meeting critical components of effective, quality BLS.

Results

Survey and performance results support a positive improvement in students’ self-reported confidence and time to achieve critical components of quality, effective BLS.

Conclusion

This quality improvement project supports the integration of simulated BLS drills into entry-level nursing student curriculum.
