Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) Simulations for New Nurses

We're looking at how practicing Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) through simulations can help new nursing graduates in their critical care course. This study could shape how future nursing programs are designed and improve how well new nurses are prepared for real-life emergencies.

Age & Gender

  • 18 years ~ 99 years
  • Male, Female, Gender Inclusive

Location

United States (Nationwide)

What will be asked of you

In one online interview, you'll talk about your experience with ACLS simulation from NURS510, your time handling ACLS codes as a registered nurse, your move from being a new graduate nurse, and how the ACLS simulation helped you in this transition.

Total length of participation:
