NGN is Here: Part Four - Simulation's Role in Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) Success - Online Course

This course is available for FREE to Sigma Members.

Simulation activities will be discussed within the framework of Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM including formative assessment strategies using NGN-style activities. Topic areas include pre-briefing (preparation and briefing activities), debriefing, and incorporating free virtual simulation products into the classroom.

This course will retire after 25th April 2026.

Learning Outcomes:
After participating in this course, learners will be able to:

• Describe best practices for integrating formative NGN-style activities into prebriefing (preparation & briefing) for screen-based simulation
• Demonstrate methods to integrate simulation-based simulation into the traditional classroom with formative assessment strategies using NGN-style questions
• Discuss the integration of NGN-style prompts into debriefing for screen-based simulation experiences
