Importance of Video Recording in Nursing Education

Nursing students take the knowledge that is learned in the classroom and participate in a number of clinical simulation scenarios. Clinical simulation learning exists to further prepare nursing students for their professional practices, often in complex health care settings. Using video to help teach nursing students has been shown to greatly increase skills and preparedness. Unfortunately, most off-the-shelf video recording systems for nursing training are bulky, expensive to install and maintain, and difficult to use.
