Abstract
Introduction
Simulation is a common strategy for health care education. Research regarding simulation for nurse practitioner education is sparse. This paper describes the integration of a nine simulation session curriculum into a nurse practitioner program, including motivating factors, process description, and lessons learned.
Results
Students report high satisfaction and improved perception of confidence and competence of knowledge, skills, and performance.
Discussion
Integrated learning experiences and outcomes that span an educational program are needed in the transition to competency-based education. This description serves as a guide for other programs seeking to incorporate simulation-based education.
