The University of South Florida College of Nursing incorporates simulation educational experiences throughout the curriculum. I was a participant in the mandatory simulation scenarios listed.
“The simulated educational experiences provided me with the opportunity to learn about the various health conditions and provide evidence-based interventions in a safe environment. I was able to take the acquired knowledge and utilize it at the bedside in the clinical environment.”
