Teaching Practices (Poster Only) – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion

Abstract

High-fidelity simulation is an alternative learning strategy designed to teach undergraduate nursing students basic, assessment, and communication skills in a safe environment. Mastery of these skills is critical to nursing students as they develop attitudes and confidence towards end-of-life care. This state-of-the-art teaching practice was applied to an upper level Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing (BSN) program which offered limited experience in providing end-of-life care to older adult patients. This poster presentation will focus on presenting 1) effective teaching strategies using high-fidelity simulation; 2) perceived attitude towards end-of-life care; 3) perceived competence; and 4) perceived confidence.
