The role of the nurse has always been that of the first point of contact for the patient to the clinical care team. As outlined by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (2016) the role of the nurse is to advocate, educate, liaise with, and provide adequate and appropriate clinical care to the patient. Additionally, the nurse represents the statistical majority of the Australian clinical team, outnumbering medical doctors at a ratio of almost 4:1 (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2013) which is consistent throughout all sectors of healthcare. Therefore, the nurse has a powerful and tangible effect on policy and the outcomes for patients in the clinical setting.

Clinical simulation is commonly used, however adding the component of having students design and run a simulation themselves adds another element to the development of their skills. A study conducted on guided reflective journaling after simulation also supports a strong relationship between the two. Students were evaluated post clinical on their use of critical thinking multiple times both after the use of debriefing and not. Both the Holistic Critical Thinking Skills Rubric (HCTSR) and Level of Reflection on Action Assessment (LORAA) were used to evaluate the students (Padden-Denmead, Scaffidi, Kerley & Farside, 2016).
