Effects of an acute myocardial infarction simulation on nursing students’ clinical judgment: Integrating faculty- and self-assessments

Key Points

• Clinical judgment improved significantly after the acute myocardial infarction simulation, indicating effective training.
• In a cohort of nursing students, based on both faculty and self-assessments, 80% reported increased confidence in their skills.
• Assessment involved structured simulations of acute myocardial infarction scenarios, incorporating real-time feedback from instructors.
• Results may inform future nursing education practices, emphasizing simulation's role in student preparedness.
