Upon completion of the inservice, the audience will be able to:

1) identify at least two benefits to the nurse students when online simulation and clinical site are combined prior to entering the profession.

2) verbalize the benefits to the clinical site.

In a 60-minute inservice, the following topics will be examined:

Nurses entering the profession need to attain competencies to deliver safe, quality care. Clinical learning environments play an important role in developing skills and professional abilities.

Online simulation can provide clinical decision-making skills, competence, and confidence. Nursing students retained clinical competency better when online simulation and clinical sites were combined.

Both objectives will be measured by a post-in-service survey, where 100% of the attendees will score 4 or higher on the questionnaire using a 5-point Likert Scale, where 4 is “Agree,” and 5 is “Strongly Agree,” confirming that clinical learning environment, when combined with virtual simulation enhance clinical competency.
