Simulation-based education is a rapidly expanding field. The use of simulation was pioneered in anesthesiology and nursing over 50 years ago. However, recent advances have allowed simulation to become commonplace in many different educational environments. These environments include undergraduate nursing education, graduate nursing education, and post-graduate clinical education.
This book provides an in-depth review of the common simulation techniques used in each setting and then dives deeper into each of the practice areas that nurses use for simulation. The book offers an overview for novice simulation users as well as a resource for simulation users looking to expand into other uses.
Capturing the latest advances, this book brings a comprehensive review of gradate and post-graduate clinical simulation together in a single resource.
