Simulations in Nursing Education

Simulations in nursing education are practical training exercises that recreate real healthcare situations using mannequins, computer programs, or actors. They allow nursing students to practice skills, make clinical decisions, and respond to patient scenarios in a safe, controlled environment. This hands-on approach helps students develop competence, confidence, and critical thinking without risking patient safety. Simulations are valuable for preparing future nurses to handle a wide range of medical situations effectively, bridging the gap between theory learned in textbooks and real-world practice.
