In 4 months, a team with diverse expertise worked together to develop an open-access virtual simulation module. The process resulted in a quality product that was worth the time invested.

A qualitative autoethnography analysis used personal diary entries from 20XX through 20XX + 4.

Student concerns regarding mental health clinical placements can be lessened when placements are well-designed; 3. Well-organised and resourced clinical placements can increase interest in mental health nursing; 4. Simulation learning can increase confidence during clinical placements; 5.
