Shawna Michael

Acute Care Paediatric Nurse Practitioner (ACPNP) programs are designed to prepare registered nurses with advanced knowledge and skills to manage and provide care to critically ill children. Simulation is an important tool for teaching and assessing clinical skills in ACPNP programs. A simulation curriculum integrated throughout the semesters can provide a structured and comprehensive approach to the development of clinical skills, knowledge, and confidence in ACPNP students. In this paper, we will discuss the implementation of a simulation curriculum in an ACPNP program.
