Abstract
Specialty clinical sites, including pediatrics, are historically scarce in prelicensure nursing education. Simulation educators developed the Pediatric Virtual Clinical Learning Series (PVCLS) containing 4 virtual learning modules designed to enhance knowledge and skills of prelicensure nursing students in clinical pediatric care. Topics included documentation, rapid response, code blue, and a pediatric case. The learning sessions were initially offered as synchronous virtual classes and were then posted on our e-learning platform to serve as enduring asynchronous material. The target audience was nursing students and faculty from regional and nationally affiliated nursing schools with the pediatric hospital. Faculty and 185 nursing students participated in the synchronous or asynchronous learning sessions. Students' ratings that the virtual classes met their personal expectations were 4.02 to 4.56 of 5 for the synchronous sessions and 3.41 to 3.58 of 4 for the asynchronous sessions. The PVCLS provided both synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences to fill a widening knowledge gap in pediatrics.
