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 thetransition to competency-based education. This description serves as a guide for other programs seeking to incorporate simulation-based education.
