Abstract
Health care is increasingly shifting from inpatient to home settings. The limited availability of home health clinical experiences creates challenges for educators seeking to prepare students for providing nursing care in the home environment. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the implementation of a simulation to increase nursing students' experience in home health care. A home health simulation was implemented with second-semester students. Effectiveness of the simulation in meeting student learning needs was measured using the Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified and student performance was evaluated using the Quint leveled clinical competency tool. The home health simulation was an effective teaching strategy to introduce second-semester students to the care of a patient in the home environment. Nurse educators can use simulation to equip students with clinical judgment skills to meet the needs of an increasing home health care population. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(2):97-100.].
