Abstract
This article describes the incorporation of clinical simulation into an accelerated BSN program. The use of high-fidelity simulation as an adjunct to clinical experiences has gained favor with nursing faculty in most types of programs; however, no studies were found that described the use of simulation in accelerated BSN programs. At a major university, faculty members have effectively merged simulation strategies as a complement to clinical learning activities in a one-year second-degree BSN program. This article outlines the strategies for utilization and progression of simulation activities as well as the challenges overcome. Initial outcomes from evaluations are also shared.
