Department of Nursing, Dominican University of California, San Rafael, CA, 94901, USA

Abstract 

Development of a successful simulation program for learners entering the health care field has been problematic for many service and academic entities. Successful simulation program planning, initiation, implementation, evaluation, and revision in a northern California undergraduate baccalaureate nursing program have produced active integration of simulation throughout the nursing curriculum. Several themes emerged as characteristics that promote program success and are shared in this exemplar.

KeyWords: simulation, nursing, program development, multidisciplinary, scenario, critical thinking, clinical judgment, health care, training
