J Nurses Prof Dev. 2015 Jul-Aug;31(4):197-202. doi: 10.1097/NND.0000000000000136.

Abstract

Simulation engages nurses in learning within a safe environment. This teaching method evaluates both skill and knowledge attainment, but evaluating the impact on patient outcomes after a simulation training event is limited. This article reviews the impact simulation training had on nurses' adherence to stroke quality measures.
