Abstract
Effective teamwork and collaboration are vital components in the healthcare team’s ability to deliver safe, patient-centered care. New graduate nurses play a crucial role in the healthcare team; however, research reveals that many students' express anxieties when communicating with other healthcare personnel. The purpose of this project was to enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of the importance of effective teamwork and collaboration, ultimately influencing the delivery of high-quality and safe patient care. In an effort to promote better patient outcomes and limit failures, the integration of TeamSTEPPS® training and simulation into nursing curricula offers students an opportunity to build confidence while also instilling an understanding of the importance of their role in teamwork and collaboration.
