Abstract

Implementing large-scale nursing continuing development programs for bedside staff can be operationally challenging. The aim of this project was to establish a sustainable simulation education program that is incorporated into staff nurses' work schedules and provides provisions to accommodate patient assignment coverage. This article describes the planning, implementation, and evaluation of a simulation program that was successfully delivered to 89% of nurses employed on four inpatient units at an academic medical center.
