High Fidelity Simulation

The point you discussed about the downside to simulation use in nursing programs is interesting. It is easy to see how the more life like the simulation is the more overwhelmed students may feel. Cantrell, Meyer, and Mosack (2017) discuss that throughout several articles reviewed the stress level increased for nursing students in regards to high fidelity simulation. Several factors influenced the amount of stress the students expressed related to different components of the simulation. Still in the end, students had positive responses for the use of high fidelity simulation. Cantrell et al. (2017) suggest the need for nurse educators to attempt to counteract the stress and incorporate a way to reduce stress related to the simulation. Debriefing
