Nurse educators may use homecare simulation experiences to enhance the learning of nursing students and help fill the need for community clinical practice. Simulation experience gives students a safe opportunity to expand the skills and critical thinking needed for community health nursing, in addition to increasing self-confidence. This article presents a two-part scenario that adds telenursing technology to a homecare simulation experience in order for students to become comfortable with the technology. By understanding telenursing, students may learn that telenursing is a way to provide appropriate care to a large number of clients, potentially inspiring community nursing as a career option.
