These characteristics of care and caring made it a natural fit for the working with approach. In addition to discussing what care means and how it has been described in literature, students were asked to arrive at their own individual care statements. In doing so, they were able to apply the concepts of care and caring themselves and arrive at an articulation that enables them to put their care into practice.     In addition to developing individual care statements, the students were requested to ensure that their individual care statements and the

Simulation providesstudents with realistic experience, even in domains where realistic activities are too complex to be performed bynovices, too expensive to be offered in an undergraduate lab, or too dangerous to allow students to make mistakes.Our hypothesis is that merely watching a simulation is not enough to trigger learning: the student must have somehand in creating the model that drives the simulation.
