Abstract
The most significant change in nurse education in the last 15 years was the move into Higher Education. Subsequently teaching clinical skills within the Higher Education Institution (HEI) was devolved to the clinical areas. This was identified as being detrimental to the clinical skills competence of the newly qualified practitioner. Recently there has been development in using simulation education as a teaching, learning and assessment strategy within the HEI. Therefore this research aims to illuminate the meaning of simulation education utilized as a teaching, learning and assessment strategy, as narrated by student nurses.
