Abstract

As advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) take on a greater role assisting women with their reproductive needs, particularly in medically underserved areas, opportunities for hands-on training in long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) while in graduate school are needed. Reporting is also needed by nursing schools that elect to provide these training opportunities to enhance workforce preparedness. A postgraduation survey of 161 APRNs from 4 universities in South Carolina indicated that simulation and opportunities to reinforce learning through clinical placement contributed to greater knowledge, skills, and abilities in LARC insertion and removal, as well as a strong level of satisfaction with the training curriculum.
