Abstract

Background

High fidelity human patient simulation (HF-HPS) is a teaching innovation in nursing education which may not be used to its full potential. This study seeks to understand the lived experiences of nurse faculty who are required to integrate HF-HPS into their teaching practice.

Method

A phenomenological methodology was used. Seventeen female nurse faculty teaching in the second year of a new collaborative bachelor of science in nursing program were interviewed about their experiences integrating mandated HF-HPS into their teaching practices.

Results

Six themes describing the participants’ experiences were identified: striving for self-efficacy, struggling to maintain autonomy, being part of a community of practice, adopting HF-HPS as a teaching innovation, being an advocate, and being proud. An emerging theme, being an outsider, was discussed.

Conclusion

This research has implications for nurse faculty and educational administrators integrating a new teaching innovation.
