Abstract
Quality care, patient safety and population health are required competencies for baccalaureate nursing program education. Faculty designed a mass casualty incident simulation for senior baccalaureate nursing students to exemplify this proficiency and prepare students in their final semester of nursing school for situations that may necessitate rapid assessment and triage of multiple patients. All students either agreed or strongly agreed that the simulation allowed the opportunity to learn to prioritize nursing care and created more confidence in decision-making skills. Creative utilization of simulation is a cost-effective and valuable way to place students in real-life scenarios to foster this development.
