Abstract
Nursing school is the entry point for foundational knowledge and practice of nursing skills; it is also where learners acculturate to the nursing profession before licensure. Clinical simulation offers unique experiential learning within nursing curricula for learners to translate knowledge to practice, discover conceptual relationships, and collaborate with peers and faculty. In this descriptive discussion, I will highlight key literature on civility themes in nursing education and practice, summarize recent research about civility in practice related to patient outcomes, and advocate for further research into civility in nursing simulation education to inform faculty development solutions that foster positive outcomes for learners upstream and may lead to positive patient outcomes downstream.
