Simulation-Based Training of the Nurse Practitioner in Interventional Radiology.

Advanced practice registered nurses, such as Nurse Practitioners (NPs), can be found working in a variety of settings. Niche practices, such as Interventional Radiology, are highly specialized areas and are often specialties in which few NPs get to orient through during their graduate nursing program clinical rotations. For the NP transitioning into an Interventional Radiology practice, formal on-the-job orientation and training can assist in gaining specialty-based knowledge and competencies in performing interventional procedures. Simulation-based training of the NP helps with critical thinking skills and developing techniques to safely perform minimally invasive procedures. A step-by-step approach via a simulation environment helps the NP learn image guidance, develop hand-eye coordination and become proficient in procedure techniques. Simulation-based education introduces the concept of repetitive practice resulting in the NP gaining confidence in performing procedures while decreasing performance anxiety. The result is a competent NP who can safely perform minimally invasive procedures.
