Strategies for Implementing a Multiple Patient Simulation Scenario
Nursing students often care for one or two patients during hospital clinical experiences, while under the supervision of a nurse educator. In this setting, students have limited opportunities to make clinical judgments, prioritize, and delegate while caring for multiple patients. Research supports the need for students to have increased experiences in caring for multiple patients. The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of a multiple patient simulated clinical experience (SCE) on senior students' perception of their readiness to transition to practice.

Pedagogical differences: A comparative reflection between American and Chinese nursing education
China is undergoing a nursing education reform to cultivate nursing students that are skilled at providing high-quality care to the growing aging population. In the last decade, the Chinese government invested significant financial resources for Research and Learning Abroad Programs. In 2016, China Scholarship Council (CSC) dispatched 3800 visiting scholars and post-doctorates. This endeavor cost a minimum of $1400 dollars per month per person. These resources provided the first author an opportunity to observe U.S. (Source: Nurse Education Today)

A comparative study of hand hygiene and alcohol-based hand rub use among Irish nursing and medical students
In Ireland, the setting for this study, the national prevalence rate of health care-associated infection (HCAI) in acute-care facilities is 5.2%. Hand hygiene and in particular hand rubbing using alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) is highly efficacious in preventing HCAI transmission. Yet, compliance among healthcare professionals is sub-optimal. Less is known about the practices of nursing and medical students and no study comparing practices among these groups in Ireland was found. Hence, the aim of this study was to provide insight into the current hand hygiene and hand rubbing practices of nursing and medical students in Ir...

Investigating the impact of moulage on simulation engagement — A systematic review
Simulation Based Education (SBE) is used as a primer for clinical education in nursing and other health professions. Participant engagement strategies and good debriefing have been identified as key for effective simulations. The environment in which the simulation is situated also plays a large role in the degree of participant engagement. Various cues are staged within simulations to enhance this engagement process. Moulage techniques are used in current-day simulation to mimic illnesses and wounds, acting as visual and tactile cues for the learner. (Source: Nurse Education Today)

Comparison of the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning and the rate of contact among students from nine different healthcare courses
Despite the growth in the interprofessional literature, there are still few studies that have evaluated the differences among courses and periods in relation to Readiness for Interprofessional Learning. Likewise, the relationship between the influences of contact among students from different professions is still controversial. (Source: Nurse Education Today)

‘It's complicated’: Staff nurse perceptions of their influence on nursing students' learning. A qualitative descriptive study
During both teacher-led clinical practica and precepted practica, students interact with, and learn from, staff nurses who work on the clinical units. It is understood that learning in clinical practice is enhanced by positive interactions between staff nurses and nursing students. While much is known about preceptors' experiences of working with nursing students, there is little evidence to date about staff nurses' perspectives of their interactions with students in teacher-led practica.

A feasibility study of dementia communication training based on the VERA framework for pre-registration nurses: Part II impact on student experience
People living with dementia have complex communication needs, especially during acute hospital admissions. The VERA framework (validation, emotion, reassurance, activity) was designed to promote person centred communication between student nurses and people living with dementia, but there is limited evaluation of its impact.
