description | Virtual simulation has been widely used to temporarily replace face-to-face clinical practicum experiences in nursing education in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. While more traditional clinical settings were prioritized and made available only to senior students, the use of virtual simulation provided an opportunity to safely pivot from the usual placement to a comparable practical learning modality to maintain clinical competence during unprecedented public health restrictions and mitigation strategies. Like many others across the globe, nursing students in a Canadian university continued their nursing education predominantly using virtual simulation for an entire academic year to avoid catastrophic delays in entering the workforce and to ultimately protect the health service delivery needs throughout the oncoming waves of the pandemic. The purpose of the paper is to describe guiding principles established in a School of Nursing as a means to responsibly and ethically adopt a replacement of traditional clinical practicum experiences with virtual simulation. The principles for incorporating virtual simulation included the need to achieve and maintain a high level of quality of learning experiences, a fluid delivery articulated in phases, and a financial commitment by the learning institution. As the global pandemic may see a fourth wave, the use of virtual simulation will continue to present a major change for clinical practicum and establishing principles for the use of virtual simulation has demonstrated to be an integral part of safe pandemic response and post-pandemic recovery. |
