Abstract
The broad focus of this integrative review involved examining and describing student
learning in relation to medium and high fidelity simulation (HFS) and exploring how SBL
influenced student preparation for clinical practice. The evidence suggested that academic
knowledge such as pathophysiology and pharmacology contributed to safe clinical judgment. In
addition, SBL contributed to contextualized interpretation and decision-making thus improving
student ability to formulate clinical judgment. A relationship between knowledge, simulated
practice, and confidence existed. It is anticipated that this project will begin to build an
understanding of the progression of knowledge and confidence from novice learner to senior
nursing student.
