N1 - Funding Information:
Elizabeth A. Hunt has grant funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research, and Education, and the American Heart Association. Elizabeth A. Hunt is the inventor of a simulation-based teaching style used in this boot camp, that is, rapid-cycle deliberate practice and the resuscitation team role taught in this boot camp, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation coach. Elizabeth A. Hunt and Jordan Duval-Arnould are coinventors of educational technology, including an end-tidal carbon dioxide simulator with a nonexclusive license with Zoll Medical Corporation. In addition, Elizabeth A. Hunt is a consultant for Zoll Medical Corporation. This includes payment for travel expenses and honoraria for speaking about rapid-cycle deliberate practice and the cardiopulmonary resuscitation coach.

N2 - Introduction: Acute care pediatric nurse practitioners have become frontline providers in the critical care environment and are expected to provide leadership in acutely critical situations. We describe a 2-day, high-fidelity, simulation-based curriculum focused on training the pediatric nurse practitioners for leadership in critical care scenarios. Method: This prospective pre-post interventional study used simulation-based pedagogy. Knowledge tests, time-to-task, and a follow-up survey were used to determine the effectiveness of the training. Results: Participants (n = 23) improved their knowledge scores by 27% (pretest: 35.2% [standard deviation = 12.1%]; posttest: 62.2% [standard deviation = 13.8%], p < .001). In addition, time-to-task for resuscitation variables improved significantly. At 3 months, 100% of the participants who responded either agreed (15.4%) or strongly agreed (84.6%) that the boot camp prepared them to lead in a critical emergency. Discussion: Simulation-based training is an effective strategy for educating critical care pediatric nurse practitioners and improves their ability to manage pediatric emergencies rapidly, which can be lifesaving.
