Abstract
This project aimed to enhance clinical education preparation in a family nurse practitioner graduate program in rural central Appalachian by providing a psychomotor skills-based simulation with the use of the defusing, discovering, and deepening (3D) debriefing method. The students were surveyed after graduation to determine effectiveness. Program outcomes to measure readiness to practice were graduation, employment, and certification rates. The postgraduation surveys indicated the simulation contributed to an increase in psychomotor skill performance, practicing safe patient care, and making independent decisions in practice. Common themes emerged of feeling “prepared for practice” and being “more marketable” with the procedural skills learned in the simulation.
