Simulation learning: exploring its transformative influence on nursing practice.

Simulation in nursing education enables nursing students to develop and practise their clinical, critical thinking and decision-making skills within the safety of a realistic learning environment. Evidence suggests that this method of learning can enhance nursing students' confidence, enabling them to navigate the current challenges in healthcare and consider new ways of working. This article outlines the benefits and challenges of simulation and discusses the implications of the use of this learning technique in nurse education for future nursing practice.
