Since earning her Ph.D., Paige continues to present and publish on educational simulations. “An ongoing project for me is creating modules for educating people across the country on how to use simulations and how to develop faculty to use simulations,” she said.
Nursing programs turn away students despite shortage

Dr. Jane Paige uses her nursing skills mostly on mannequins. But, since she became a nursing instructor she said her view on a patient has changed.
"Our students become our patients," Paige said. She hopes more experienced nurses will embrace that perspective.
"There's a lot of people interested in nursing and sometimes they're turned away from programs because we can't accommodate that number," explained Paige.

Formal training efforts to develop simulation educators: An integrative review.

Summary Statement from source: Formal training for educators who use simulation-based education (SBE) is required by standards of best practice, simulation guidelines, regulatory, and accrediting bodies. Training efforts to establish educator competency for SBE are being offered. However, a systematic review of this body of literature has yet to be conducted. The purpose of this integrative review was to appraise formal training efforts of educators who use SBE. The aims were to summarize the training topics, describe the structure of training programs, and explore evaluation methods of educators. The New World Kirkpatrick Model guided the review. A PRISMA search approach yielded 2007 citations of which 38 met inclusion criteria. Analysis supports a formalized training process that uses a combination of didactic material, time for repetitive practice, and ongoing feedback with longitudinal and scaffolded delivery approaches. An identified gap in the literature is threshold levels for determining competency of educators. Recommendations for planning simulation training programs are provided.
Hear ye, Hear ye! Learn all About the 2016 Edition of the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM

2017
The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) takes the lead in developing, revising, and publishing the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM used internationally and across disciplines to train healthcare providers. Considering internal and external review, evidence-based educational practices and research, the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation undergo a cyclical and ongoing review process. In 2016, the third iteration of Standards of Best Practice: Simulation was published. With the maturing of use of simulation as a pedagogical method, those in the simulation community are charged with the utilization of the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation for designing, conducting, and evaluating simulation-based experiences. In this presentation, members of the INACSL Standards Committee (2014-2016) will update the simulation community of the 2016 edition of the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation. Detailed are the updates and revisions made that reduce redundancies, clarify language, address gaps, and incorporate new knowledge. Evident by the frequent citation of the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation in the literature, it is important the simulation community be appraised of and incorporate the most current best practices as they update and advance their simulation practices.
