Innovation in nursing education

In nursing education, to prepare nurses to change environments and practice in new environments, a need for innovation always exists. Therefore, new strategies must be used in nursing education. Simulation and personal digital assistants (PDAs) are some of the new strategies. Simulation is a teaching strategy that involves replicating reality. Although today in many countries high- fidelity simulation is a growing teaching method, there is not a simulation laboratory in Turkish Nursing Schools yet. Simulation and PDAs can be infused into the Turkish undergraduate education program to help prepare nursing students for professional practice.
