Perceived Effectiveness of Nursing Faculty of Clinical Video Simulation for Use in Nurse Practitioner Education

Quality clinical placements for nurse practitioner students are increasingly challenging to locate and sustain, restricting faculty opportunities to assess student clinical competency. With the additional impact of COVID-19 restricting access to in-person clinicals and simulations, faculty began to incorporate virtual clinical simulation experiences. This cross-sectional design study examined nurse practitioner faculty’s perception that by including videos with the accompanying faculty guides found at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Nursing Clinical Video Simulation Series site, students’ clinical decision making could be enhanced and that video simulation can be used to assess clinical competency.
