As Simulation Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating the impact of hands-on simulation experiences in preparing our students for real-world nursing practice. 💚

At Jacksonville University’s Keigwin School of Nursing, simulation gives students the opportunity to apply course content, strengthen clinical skills, communicate with patients, think critically, and build confidence in a safe learning environment — before entering the clinical setting.

Our students say it best:

💬 “Seeing real-world examples firsthand was most helpful in applying course content to clinical practice.”

💬 “Application of what we are learning in theory helps tie into the subject we are needing to learn.”

💬 “It was nice to get a response and get more comfortable talking to patients.”

💬 “Always so awesome! We learn so much!”

To our students, faculty, staff, standardized patients, and everyone who helps bring these experiences to life: **thank you!** Your dedication makes meaningful learning possible and helps prepare the next generation of nurses to learn, practice, grow, and provide compassionate care. 🩺💚
