Assessing Performance Outcomes of New Graduates Utilizing Simulation in a Military Transition Program
Abstract
The purpose of the multi-site study is to determine if there are differences in clinical competency among graduating nursing students with 50%, 25% or less than 10% of traditional clinical hours substituted with simulation experiences. Competency-based assessment and evaluation specific to the unique practice area of new nurse graduates has been recommended as one method to provide a successful transition to practice for new graduate nurses (Pattillo, 2012). This study provides information regarding the use of high-fidelity simulation to measure performance outcomes of graduate nurses in their transition to military nursing. Results indicate that participants were able to show significant differences for most of the objectives evaluated using the simulation evaluation instrument, demonstrating the positive outcomes of the training program.
