Abstract 

Helping today's “net generation” students to develop clinical reasoning and decision-making skills can be difficult. Human patient simulation is an interactive instructional method that allows students to learn how to think critically in a realistic, safe environment. However, many faculty still lack the experience or time for training necessary to integrate this innovative technology into nursing courses. This article provides educators with a simple yet effective approach to implementing simulation as a teaching strategy.
