Abstract

Background: An assessment of statewide resources related to simulation equipment, use, and plans was conducted to identify resources and needs. Methods: Administrators of nursing programs and hospitals were contacted to participate in the online statewide survey of simulation resources. Results: Nursing programs substituted an average of 5.1% of clinical hours with simulation experiences. Schools owned more equipment than hospitals did, including twice as many high-fidelity simulators. Schools were more likely than hospitals were to have space designated for simulation and to hire simulation coordinators. Funding and sustainability of simulation were cited as major concerns by the majority of respondents. Conclusions: Application and availability of simulation resources vary. Schools of nursing had more equipment and personnel resources than hospitals did. Sustainable funding for simulation was important to all end users. Opportunities for partnerships and research were identified. © 2013 International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning.
