Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education: Advanced Concepts, Trends, and Opportunities Pamela R. Jeffries, PhD, RN, FAAN, ANEF 978-1-934758-19-9 • November 2013 • Softbound • 6”x9” • 280 pp.

While confronting many challenges related to changes in health care, higher education, and clinical practice, nurse educators are exploring new opportunities for innovative teaching/learning methods, new clinical models, and educational practices to provide high-quality education to promote optimal, quality patient care. Clinical simulations can provide health care educators with one approach to create student- centered, experiential environments that engage and prepare the learner for real-world practice. Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education: Advanced Concepts, Trends, and Opportunities provides chapters authored by expert simulation researchers, educators, and users to shed light on important advancements and emerging topics in clinical simulation. Features • Enhanced interprofessional education and practice through simulation. • Meaningful debriefing. • Expansion of clinical simulation globally. • Development of a good business plan and consideration of the economic model of a simulation center. • Research and evaluation of clinical simulation. • High-stakes simulation. • Certification of educators and accreditation of simulation centers.
