Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Courtney Marie Gormus, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, CHSE, CNE (Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions)
Description: This book is a comprehensive study resource developed to prepare healthcare educators to sit for the Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) Certified Healthcare Simulation Educator (CHSE) certification examination. This third edition updates content from the previous version to reflect the most up-to-date examination blueprint so that exam takers are best prepared as they take the CHSE assessment. The book is well-organized into domains and chapters that are user-friendly with easy-to-read, evidence-based information. Knowledge check questions with supporting rationales are located at the end of each chapter. Additionally, a 150-question practice examination at the end of the book will challenge learners and test their knowledge.
Purpose: The purpose of the book is to serve as a review and study resource for those who desire to take the SSH CHSE certification examination. The objectives are to guide learners to material on the examination and teach them about concepts in the healthcare simulation setting. The book meets these objectives by providing a systematic, concise, and educational reference. It also offers digital access to the full contents, increasing portability, availability, and the overall user experience. While the information in the book is concise, it provides learners with all the necessary material vital to successful completion of the CHSE examination.
Audience: The book is intended for healthcare educators who qualify to sit for the SSH CHSE certification exam. According to the SSH eligibility qualifications, healthcare educators must possess a bachelor's degree or equivalent and experience of at least two years in the healthcare simulation setting. The book can also serve as a resource for those who are looking to recertify their CHSE certification through the examination option or those who simply want to learn more about simulation in the healthcare setting. The authors have demonstrated credibility in the healthcare simulation setting with numerous certifications and fellowships in the healthcare education and simulation arena. Additionally, they have spearheaded research projects, developed nursing theories, and published countless articles, chapters, and publications in nursing, specifically in nursing education and simulation. Over 30 contributors hold higher education degrees, licenses, and certifications in health care.
Features: The book provides a concise overview of the vital concepts healthcare educators need to pass the CHSE certification exam successfully. It follows the SSH CHSE assessment blueprint, enabling learners to focus on the most important concepts. The book has a 100% examination pass guarantee, boosting learners' confidence when selecting it as a study resource. To prepare learners for the testing environment, it presents knowledge checks after each chapter with correct answer rationales and a 150-question practice assessment at the end with correct answer rationales for a total of more than 350 practice questions throughout. Additionally, case studies at the end of each chapter are used to promote critical thinking about the concepts. The book incorporates figures, tables, graphs, charts, and diagrams throughout the chapters to enhance the learning experience, especially for visual learners. It also contains digital access to the book chapters, practice questions, and correct answer rationales. While each test question provides the correct answer rationale, I would like to see the authors incorporate wrong answer rationales into each question to improve the learning process further.
Assessment: This review book is a necessary guide for those searching for a holistic resource on the CHSE examination. It is a well-organized study resource for those who qualify and wish to sit for the exam. The book enables learners to break down concepts into short, meaningful chapters with frequent knowledge checks throughout. This third edition is a continuing improvement to the previous versions, with updated concepts, testing questions, and review material that follow the most up-to-date examination blueprint.
