Introduction
Student Preparation
Students will be provided with the background scenario, learning objectives, and required readings to provide foundational knowledge of the subject matter prior to simulation participation.
Required literature to be reviewed prior to class/simulation participation aids in conceptualizing the standards of stroke care and APN role and competencies within integrated transition of care:
