Real World Or Out Of This World? An Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of SiRe

The use of stimulation, in the form of clinical skills labs, has been widely used in undergraduate nursing programmes for decades, yet little is known about the effectiveness of this educational strategy. Two Schools of Nursing have collaborated to evaluate the usefulness of simulation within their respective undergraduate nursing programmes. One clinical skill, blood pressure measurement, was selected as the focus for this study. Results of the analysis will be discussed.
