Abstract

Many students report that they do not have the opportunity to provide end-of-life care before completing their undergraduate nursing degree. High fidelity simulation may prepare both graduate and undergraduate students to collaborate when caring for patients in their last days of life and give them opportunities to explore their own beliefs, perceptions, and feelings related to death and dying. This article provides a brief overview of how one nursing program used simulation to bring prelicensure and graduate family nurse practitioner students together along with campus ministry to successfully deliver collaborative care. This innovative simulation exercise helped students and professionals develop shared goals and promoted communication when providing physical and spiritual care to end-of-life patients.
