Abstract

Abstract: Providing engaging activities to supplement classroom learning can be a challenge for today's nurse educator. Quick response (QR) code technology provides hands-on clinical experiences without the use of high-fidelity simulators. The purpose of this article is to evaluate how QR codes during a health assessment simulation activity enhanced learning for first-semester baccalaureate nursing students. The use of QR codes increased student confidence during health assessment with a form of technology they found engaging.
