Abstract
Collaboration and cultural competence are essential to nursing practice. Simulation-based training allows students to explore sensitive topics safely while surveying their own biases. Faculty created a collaborative simulation involving baccalaureate nursing students based on a transgender adolescent with suicidal ideations and a controlling parent. Three themes emerged during debriefings: empathy, communication, and safety. The faculty found this experience was ideal for students to process their perceptions while fine tuning soft skills needed to create a safe and inclusive environment. Nurse educators should tailor simulation-based experiences to incorporate didactic concepts such as collaboration, ethics, diversity, and conflict management to afford students an opportunity to learn skills needed to provide safe and inclusive care.
