A novel collaborative simulation for emergency and neonatal nurse practitioner students

Abstract

Background

Interprofessional simulation with telehealth prepares nurse practitioner (NP) students to navigate an increasing complex health care environment. This article details development, results, and future considerations for a collaborative interprofessional simulation.

Methods

Students accessed the SET-M via a QR code to evaluate their perception of the simulation.

Results

Eighty-three emergency and neonatal NP students participated in a joint simulation to evaluate a late preterm infant in the emergency department. Students reported positive perceptions of the simulation.

Conclusion

This interprofessional telehealth simulation promotes collaboration and critical thinking while meeting the call for competency-based learning in nursing education.
