Cub Ward: The Real Not Real Ward - a student nurse led simulation ward.

ABSTRACT: Higher demand for placements, due to Covid-19 training delays and increased student numbers resulted in placement demand exceeding opportunities. Therefore, a student simulated ward (Cub Ward) was created. A disused ward was transformed into a functioning ward with high and medium fidelity mannequins as patients. The ward was completely led by student nurses. A part 3 student was Nurse-in-Charge while remaining students took on the role of Staff Nurses, and part 1 students remained as "student nurses". Learning outcomes were:•Develop an understanding of how clinical areas function•Discuss prioritisation in clinical care•Understand patient management throughout a shift•Explore management of workload and resources•Analyse effective communication with MDT A real-time simulated shift included
