title: Actors needed: clinical faculty get the call.
abstract: Simulation activities have been developed for many areas of nursing, but there are minimal nursing simulation activities in the area of mental health nursing. In this article, the authors describe development of mental health simulation activities for junior BSN students using clinical faculty as the standardized patients. Faculty who want to incorporate mental health simulations into their learning experiences can use the lessons learned from this project.
