Abstract

High-fidelity simulation refers to the use of computerized manikins to simulate real-life situations. High-fidelity simulation is now a crucial part of nursing programs everywhere helping students gain necessary critical-thinking skills. The College of Nursing (CON) at Brigham Young University (BYU) includes simulation in their curriculum to assist students in developing decision-making skills in a modified clinical setting. However, more than the possession of simulation technology, the interaction between students and the simulation facilitator helps to achieve these aims.
