Abstract
An innovative, low-cost, low-fidelity tabletop simulation was developed that addresses several of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing 2021 “Essentials” domains, which prepares nurse practitioner students to transition into practice through the exploration of knowledge of nursing practice, professional leadership, quality and safety, and person-centered care. The students act as hospitalist nurse practitioners, triaging patients with acute issues presented throughout the simulation to influence prioritization and the need to communicate and collaborate with the interdisciplinary team. Finally, we explore health care system initiatives and metrics to address system-based practice that may influence clinical decision-making alongside patient acuity.
