The authors, nursing faculty and retired nursing faculty at a Florida university, reported on the process of using simulation technology for instruction and provided examples and ideas for leveling simulation programs for use in the undergraduate nursing program. The authors emphasized the need for rigorous research into the validity and reliability of simulation use in nursing education and in particular the need for comparative studies to confirm the ‘added value’ of simulation beyond traditional teaching techniques. Issues related to faculty development and cost of simulation use, were discussed in the article. Provided some good information and some of the challenges for nurse educators related to simulation.
