On August 21, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) released the findings from its highly anticipated research study titled “The NCSBN National Simulation Study: A Longitudinal, Randomized, Controlled Study Replacing Clinical Hours with Simulation in Prelicensure Nursing Education.” The study authors concluded that substituting high quality simulation experiences for up to half of traditional clinical training hours in entry-level registered nursing programs had no negative impact on NCLEX pass rates or the competency level of new graduates. The study found that there were no meaningful differences in critical thinking, clinical competency, and overall readiness for practice between graduates of traditional pre-licensure programs with no simulated clinical experiences and graduates of programs utilizing simulation for up to 50% of its clinical experiences.
