Abstract:
The importance of soft skills, such as communication, empathy, teamwork, and critical thinking, cannot be overstated. This one-hour webinar delves into the innovative use of simulation as a powerful tool to enhance these essential skills among nurses. Participants will explore how simulation-based training provides a safe, controlled environment for nurses to practice and refine their interpersonal abilities, decision-making processes, and collaborative techniques. Through real-world scenarios, nurses can receive immediate feedback, reflect on their performance, and develop the confidence to handle complex, emotionally charged situations. The session will also highlight best practices for integrating soft skill simulations into nursing education and ongoing professional development, ensuring that nurses are not only clinically competent but also equipped with the emotional intelligence necessary to provide holistic patient care. Join us to discover how simulation can be a game-changer in fostering the soft skills that are vital to nursing excellence.
Learning Objectives:
- Nurse educators will be able to design and implement simulation-based scenarios that improve communication among hospital nursing staff, promoting more effective and empathetic interactions with patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams.
- Nurse educators will learn to create simulation exercises that sharpen the critical thinking and decision-making skills of workforce nurses, enabling them to handle complex and high-pressure situations with greater confidence and competence.
- Nurse educators will be equipped with the tools to use simulation training to foster stronger teamwork and collaboration within nursing units, leading to more coordinated and efficient patient care.
