Background Nursing simulation is said to be a safe learning environment. However, research and anecdotal information suggest it may be safe for patients but not academically safe for students. Academic safety is defined. Method Nursing students (n = 101) and faculty (n = 24) from schools in the San Francisco area completed online surveys to describe an academically safe learning environment. Results/Conclusions Faculty and students defined academically safe as supportive, and a climate where freedom to learn and grow is enjoyed by all.
