*Kruskal-Wallis test,
1. This experience will improve my care of patients.

2. I was adequately oriented to the simulation environment.

3. This simulation was a valuable learning experience.

4. This debriefing was a valuable learning experience.

5. The length of time for this simulation and debriefing was appropriate.

6. The objectives for this simulation were met.

7. I would recommend this simulation to others.

8. Completing the simulation helped me understand classroom information better.

9. I learned as much from observing my peers as I did when I was actively involved in caring for the simulated patient.

10. This experience increased my critical thinking skills.
