Welcome to Simulation Simplified! This text has been designed for nurse educators/faculty in both academic or practice settings. The aim of this instructor manual is to "simplify" the process of teaching with simulation by providing many helpful tips, scenarios and templates that you will be able to use right away.
The lessons learned from this text and accompanying electronic resources will help take the mystery, the guess work and the difficulty out of the components of implementing simulation. You will learn how to create realism in your scenario, how to effectively design and unfold a simulation scenario. In addition, you will learn how to facilitate high quality debriefing/reflective thinking sessions after the simulation has been implemented.
In the final chapter you will gain insight into international perspectives on simulation and future directions. Simulation Simplified is comprised of three components: an instructor manual, a student workbook and electronic resources for both the nursing faculty and the students.

Sandra Goldsworthy is currently the Coordinator of the Durham College Critical Care e Learning Program and is a professor in the Durham College/University of Ontario Institute of Technology BScN Nursing Program. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Lakehead University and her Master of Science in Nursing from Queens University. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Nursing at the University of British Columbia. She holds a national CNA credential in Critical Care as well as Medical Surgical Nursing. Her research focus is retention of Critical Care nurses. Sandra has conducted and published research involving the use of simulation and PDAs in nursing education. She is currently involved in the delivery of critical care simulation and the mentoring of other educators in this technology. Her recent publications and national and international presentations have concentrated on critical care and technology in nursing. Sandra also sits on the National exam committee for the new CNA Medical/Surgical Nursing Certification exam and is the Co-editor of Medical Surgical Nursing in Canada.
Leslie Graham, presently a professor at Durham College in the Critical Care e-Learning Certificate Program and the Collaborative BScN Nursing Program at the University of Ontario, Institute of Technology, has facilitated nursing education, both in clinical and the classroom. Leslie obtained her BScN and MN from Ryerson University, Ontario, Canada. She also holds CNA certification in critical care. With over 30 years nursing experience, the majority spent in critical care, Leslie is well acquainted with the educational requirements of todays critical care nurses. Her early experiences with simulation were low fidelity, low budget and very portable. Currently, she develops curriculum and facilitates simulation for post graduate and undergraduate nursing students. Presenting nationally and internationally on simulation, Leslie promotes the culture of patient safety that simulation offers.
