Presentation Abstract:

Associate degree nursing education in the US offers accessible affordable quality instruction to a diverse student population. Typical ADN enrollment includes large numbers of underrepresented low-income students. Unfortunately, many ADN programs are underfunded which means community colleges often lack the essential resources required to support faculty development. Recent research has identified 4 barriers to quality learning outcomes among ADN learners: 1) active learning 2) technological barriers 3) support and 4) communication (Jowsey et al., 2020). Virtual simulation is an affordable solution that can be incorporated into the nursing curriculum seamlessly. When used correctly it can help bridge the gap between traditional simulation and clinical placement, it can be used for remediation and assessment. This session will review best practices when adopting a screen-based solution. We will explore the value of screen-based simulation in the ADN nursing program and make curricular recommendations.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Appreciate the state of Associate Degree Nursing education.
  2. Understand the unique needs of educating ADN students to improve clinical outcomes.
  3. Apply screen-based virtual simulation curricular recommendations to improve nursing outcomes.
