Abstract At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many academic institutions suspended in-person instruction and clinical experiences. Virtual simulation played an essential role in providing alternatives. The current study used faculty and student surveys, along with standardized exit exams and NCLEX-RN® pass rates, to determine the effect of using virtual simulation instead of traditional hospital clinical experiences during the final semester of a prelicensure BSN program. Results indicated a small decrease in exit exam scores compared to those who completed the traditional clinical experience and no significant relationship between NCLEX-RN pass/fail rates.
