TL;DR
The use of simulations before and during nursing students' first clinical practice is a useful and effective learning strategy and nursing educators should be aware of the high level of anxiety among nursing students during their firstclinical practice, and design a program to reduce the anxiety through simulations.
Abstract
The use of simulations before and during nursing students' first clinical practice is a useful and effective learning strategy. Nursing educators should be aware of the high level of anxiety among nursing students during their first clinical practice, and design a program to reduce the anxiety through simulations.
