"The much anticipated report by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity (2021), outlines a roadmap for nursing in the next decade and beyond. Many areas in the report promote the importance of population health, health equity, and other concepts and competencies needed by nurses caring for a variety of patients in diverse healthcare settings. The report urges nurse educators to adopt teaching strategies and educational technologies that will better prepare our graduates for entering and advancing in the workforce. The increasing use of simulation during the pandemic has proven that it can serve as a tool to facilitate and evaluate the necessary competencies in nursing education. Once the exception, the incorporation of clinical simulations across all types of nursing programs is now commonplace. Thanks to the pandemic, all types of clinical simulations-including high-fidelity, virtual, VR, and screen-based-were quickly incorporated across nursing and other health professional curricula as successful alternatives to the traditional required hours of training in clinical settings"-- Provided by publisher.
