Pediatric end-of-life care is a challenge for nursing education. Until recently, there was little evidence of pedagogical approaches to meet the educational needs of nursing students. Based on End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium guidelines and recent literature, a clinical simulation was developed using the documentary “A Lion in the House.” Learning objectives were developed along with presimulation student learning activities. Reflection and dialogue were guided postsimulation. This simulation provided a novel approach to student-centered learning and a context for resolving the problem of providing clinical learning experiences to educate nursing students to care for the child and family experiencing the end of life.
