Simulation is a well-established tool to teach skills and measure competency. This book discusses simulation development, integration, and evaluation and links these topics directly to competency-based nursing education. I particularly appreciate the chapter on student-centered learning. Faculty, directors, and administrators will also appreciate the content on financing simulation, faculty and staff workload, and faculty development, as these are critical challenges nursing programs face in integrating simulation across levels and programs. – Nadine M. Aktan, PhD, FNP-BC, professor and associate dean, Rutgers University School of Nursing
