摘要
Pediatric nursing courses have been affected by the increasingly limited amount of clinical placements and experiences for students. Securing clinical sites that provide well-rounded experiences in a limited amount of time is difficult. In addition, "teachable moments" can be lost on a busy unit due to variables outside of the control of the clinical faculty member, leading to a less than positive learning experience for students. A pediatric simulation curriculum was developed for the clinical rotation. This allowed students to begin their clinical experience better prepared and broadened their overall clinical experiences in a limited amount of time. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
