OMS has equal efficacy to manikin-based simulation

The National League for Nursing (NLN) conference this year brought over 1,000 nurse educators, leaders, simulation experts to sunny Orlando, Florida for a week of connection, networking, and learning about the state of nursing education today and how we can continue to improve, enhance, and drive better patient outcomes through healthcare training.

The OMS team headed to NLN with one goal in mind: to listen, learn, and connect. Spending time with nursing faculty and leaders gave us a chance to hear firsthand about the challenges educators are facing. Even more importantly, it helped us spark conversations about how we can best support their work—whether that’s preparing students for clinical practice or helping improve patient care.
During our time at NLN, we attended sessions, heard from experts presenting in their respective fields, and talked with many educators on stand to ensure we have a comprehensive outlook on nursing education in the United States, and we’ve compiled our key findings to share in this blog outlining what we learned and what this means for the future of nursing education and training.
