This book is dedicated to all those who have helped along the way. To our husbands and families
who never stop believing, supporting, and inspiring us: You are the wings upon which we soar.
We also dedicate this book to the nursing faculty, without whom any of this would be possible and
to our colleagues and the administrators at our respective universities who have helped pave the
way, moved mountains, and given full support to integrating simulation within the nursing curriculum.
To nursing students at all levels: Excellence in nursing is not just a goal; it is a journey.
Simulation can help take you there.
