Simulation Training Improves Resuscitation Team Leadership Skills of Nurse Practitioners.
In the current era of limited physician trainee work hours, limited nurse practitioner orientation times, and highly specialized care settings, frontline providers have limited opportunities for mentored resuscitation training in emergency situations. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a pilot program to improve resuscitation team leadership skills of nurse practitioners using simulation-based training. ⋯ Simulation can improve code leadership skills of nurse practitioners. These preliminary findings require confirmation in larger studies.
