Key Findings

Even though e-learning is not the traditional way to learn, still it provides an alternative approach to study (Lahti, Hätönen & Välimäki, 2014). This is the reason why healthcare professionals should take advantage of this.

The major point that was obtained through this study indicates the significance of patient simulation and how it is more effectual than other traditional methods (Shin, Park & Kim, 2015)
.

The major findings that were obtained pointed out that to this day, students of nursing consider clinicians as their role models and learn a lot from them (Baldwin, Mills, Birks & Budden, 2014). Learning from them is good for their upcoming professional life.

The findings that were obtained through this study indicated how interventions could effectively help in increasing cultural competence (Gallagher & Polanin, 2015). The interventions that were studied for this study are highly effectual.

Recommendations

It would be good if more numerical studies were selected as they give better insight for studies like these

The addition of qualitative study could give more insight into this study

There were very few articles related to the impact of nurse educators on nurse students regarding their professional development.

More cultural elements could have been discussed

Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project

The article supports the capstone project because it signifies the importance of continuous and modern learning in healthcare and how it is important to have an alternative.

This article also signifies the importance of continuous education by discussing the significance of the innovative technique of patient simulation. Therefore, it is associated with the capstone project.

The article discusses the professional development of nursing students under the supervision of clinicians and how it helps them in educational training. The EBP practice implementation in healthcare would help the students to learn its importance.

The article supports the capstone project as it talks about the educational interventions that could be implemented for cultural competence which is something necessary in healthcare settings.
