One hundred and three students from the 117-person class signed up to participate in the simulation study, which aims to examine the role of simulation in pre-licensure clinical nursing education. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing chose Johns Hopkins and several other schools to participate in the study.
The study will look at the use of simulated clinical experiences as a replacement for time spent in traditional education. Participation in the study will span two years, from fall to graduation. Students may experience 50 percent, 25 percent or less than 10 percent simulation depending on their assigned group.
