The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) published the results of the
largest, most comprehensive study to date concerning the use of simulation as a substitute
for traditional clinical experience. Results of the study, which were published in
2014, demonstrated that high-quality simulation experiences could be substituted for
up to 50% of traditional clinical hours across the prelicensure nursing curriculum.
An expert panel convened by NCSBN evaluated the data gathered through this study,
examined previous research and the International Nursing Association for Clinical
Simulation and Learning Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM, and used their collective knowledge to develop national simulation guidelines for
prelicensure nursing programs. This article presents those guidelines, evidence to
support the use of simulation, and information for faculty and program directors on
preparation and planning for using simulation successfully in their nursing programs.
