Abstract
Recent studies have shown that only 35% of new registered nurse graduates demonstrate appropriate entry expectations for critical thinking and clinical judgment . As the present nursing shortage continues to escalate, adequate preparation of new graduate nurses becomes ever more important. Simulation is used in nursing education to prepare nurses prior to the clinical setting. It utilizes the principle explained by Confucius when he said “I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.” Simulation provides the opportunity to apply the classroom and textbook learning in a safe environment so that students may fully grasp the idea prior to a clinical setting with real patients.
