Clinical simulations: Let's get real!

Department of Nursing, Pasco-Hernando Community College, New Port Richey, FL 34654, USA

Abstract 

Simulations have been recommended when clinical facilities are scarce because they provide a similar experience to that which a student would encounter. Pasco-Hernando Community College nursing faculty designed a role-playing home care simulation for students. The students interact with community theater actors in an improvised simulated home health environment. The home care visit interaction is followed by a debriefing session. Here, students identify concerns in the scenario and verbalize their feelings about the experience.
