I never imagined that simulation could be effectively used to bring a new environment to teach students. Specifically to “simulate” rural conditions (Hendrickx, Foerster, Hansen & Tschetter, 2014). However, I’m not very “fond” of simulation and particularly don’t like learning that way, unless it is strictly necessary. On the other hand, this is a very interesting article. It reports how a nursing school developed a program to overcome their population’s needs. Through simulation, as described by Fitzgerald and Keyes (2014) students are able to acquire needed psychomotor skills, it helps to develop problem-solving skills, since it allows to recreate real-life events. This provides a priceless experience for the students and a harmless environment
