Simulation is widely used in nursing education; however, its application in graduate nurse educator programs remains limited. This pilot explored the use of a novel multistudent, multipatient simulation in which nurse educator students assumed the role of clinical faculty. Designed in accordance with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM, this simulation focused on clinical facilitation, time management, and feedback. Participants (n = 2) reported increased confidence and insight into clinical teaching responsibilities following the encounter. This pilot warrants further investigation into the application of simulation in graduate-level nonclinical programs and may serve as a template for educator development programs.
