Abstract 

High-fidelity human simulators (HFHSs) are contributing to an evolution which is transforming nursing laboratories. The role of nurse educators, teaching strategies, workload reconfigurations, and budget allocations must be modified to meet the challenges of this transformation. A review of literature and guide for implementation is described to assist academic nursing leaders with HFHS implementation. The use of Health Information Systems, Inc. (Houston, TX) computerized examinations to measure and evaluate simulation laboratory outcomes is also discussed.
