Bioterrorism in the simulation laboratory: preparing students for the unexpected.

Full Abstract

The use of simulation as a teaching method to present bioterrorism interventions was a success. Students found benefit in being able to apply the didactic content in potential real-world situations. We all hope that the world will not experience these kinds of threats in the future, but tomorrow's nurses should be prepared for the unexpected.
