Abstract
Successful transition of the neonate from the intrauterine environment to
the extrauterine world is a complex and unique process. The assessments
and interventions of the nurse during these precious moments following
birthhave a dramatic impact on the well-being of the neonate. This article
reports on the development and implementation of a nursing situation
simulation focused on educating nurses for this role. Clinical simulation
has been shown to increase confidence and competence of nurses. Use
of simulation allows nurses to gain experience without placing the
patient at risk.
