Current research in high-fidelity simulation demonstrates high student satisfaction, a method for active learning, a safe learning environment, an ability to recreate scenarios among several groups of students, and the ability for students to experience rare patient problems. This case study describes the integration of a simulated clinical experience into a junior-level baccalaureate pediatric nursing course to provide consistent clinical experiences for all students. Student and faculty comments reflected a positive experience. Lessons learned from this case study support additional simulation in the nursing curriculum, recognition of the time and resources required to integrate simulation into a nursing course and faculty, and need for student flexibility with this learning tool.
