Seventy-seven undergraduate nursing students participated in the SBE. ResultsThirty-four students completed an online Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified (SET-M) and reported overall positive feedback. ConclusionIncorporating telephone triage into the curricula can help prepare nursing students to meet the new demands in health care while practicing at the top of their licenses.
