Benner’s model, From Novice to Expert, offers a theoretical framework that would guide the project. Based on “The Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition,” that was originally meant for the pilots, the theory examines advancement in skill performance based on education, career progression, knowledge development, and experience (Benner, 1984). In Benner’s model, the theorist introduced a concept that expert nurses often acquire their skills and level of understanding of patient care through clinical experiences with a sound educational base.
She identified five stages. Novice is the first stage as the beginner lack any experience of the clinical situations that are expected to work in (Bernner, 1984). They learn the rules and procedures to execute

Simulation: A technique used "to replace or amplify real experiences with guided experiences that evoke or replicate substantial aspect of the real world in a fully interactive manner" (Gaba 2007).
Integrate: It means to blend into, coordinate, or form a unified whole
Critical Thinking: In nursing, critical thinking entails the ability to think logically and systematically, as well as question and reflect own actions to ensure safe and high-quality nursing practice.
Standards of Nurse Practice: They entail standards that promote and guide the delivery of safe and competent care.
Fidelity: Entail the believability or the extent to which a simulated activity mirrors reality. A high-fidelity simulation leads a high realism (INACSL, 2013).
High fidelity simulation: It refers to simulations that employ virtual reality of to provide realism and interactivity (INACSL, 2013).
Mid-fidelity simulation: It describes a simulation which uses video game or computer programs (INACSL, 2013).
Low-fidelity simulation: It is a simulation that relies on role-playing to immense either professionals or the students in a clinical practice that requires a specific skill (INACSL,
