The millennial generation shows a strong preference for informatics and technology-rich educational environments. The purpose of this descriptive, qualitative study was to understand baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions of the use of Facebook as a platform to present patient case study data. After following a simulated patient on Facebook and developing a teaching plan based on data collected from the patient's Facebook page, undergraduate nursing students completed a survey to determine their perceptions of this teaching strategy. Five categories that emerged from the qualitative data were realism, relatability, engagement, uniqueness, and desire for expansion.
