Published 07-2024
Journal of nursing regulation, 15, 2, 45 - 56
Excerpt: Nurses use social media for both professional and personal purposes, but even personal posts that can be misconstrued or violate patient privacy can lead to severe consequences for nurses. To help nurses in preventing such social media errors, it is essential to understand how nurses make ethical choices when posting on various social media platforms.

Comparison of Clinical Options: High-Fidelity Manikin-Based and Virtual Simulation
Published 05-2021
Nurse educator, 46, 3, 149 - 153
Minimal evidence compares nursing student outcomes when replacing clinical hours with manikin-based high-fidelity patient simulation (HFPS) or virtual simulation. The study aims were to compare differences in outcomes: (1) between 2 intervention groups (HFPS or virtual simulation) when replacing 25% of pediatric/obstetrics clinical hours and (2) pass/fail for clinical practice between the intervention groups and a face-to-face clinical group (control). A quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine differences in knowledge between intervention groups participating in 6 pediatric/obstetrics simulation scenarios. No differences in composite knowledge were found between simulation groups (P = .319). There also was no difference in clinical practice pass/fail among the groups. HFPS and virtual simulation were equally effective in achieving learning goals.
