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.
