Popis: The goal of transformation in nursing education is to improve the quality of nursing training, which will impact the quality of holistic nursing care. This paper presents results from a rich active discussion of faculty perspective about the impact of simulation on student competence. The study used inductive, interpretive and constructive types of qualitative research design. The author conducted three focus group discussions, and 22 faculty members from the College of Nursing at King Saud University participated. Each focus group was interviewed and audio recorded for 60 minutes. The study yielded three main themes: students ’readiness for simulated reality, required processes for successful simulation, and challenges of simulation implementation. Understanding the faculty perspectives will help appropriately support and facilitate nursing simulation education.
