Human patient simulation (HPS) is a time and cost intensive teaching modality that is used widely in nursing education, and has been implemented with little evidence to support its efficacy (Jeffries & Rizzolo, 2006).

Nursing clinical decision making affects patient outcomes. Critical thinking is a key factor in clinical decision making.
