Abstract
This research brief explores the impact of simulation on clinical reasoning in baccalaureate nursing students. The Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale was administered to 98 nursing students before and after participating in a series of three high-risk obstetric simulations. Results indicated a significant increase in clinical reasoning pre (M = 53.95, SD = 8.38) to post (M = 59.44, SD = 8.74) with p < .0001. The findings highlight the value of integrating simulation in nursing curricula to improve clinical reasoning.
