Abstract. As advances in health continue to change the landscape of nursing education, integration of simulation simulators has become a key strategy to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This article provides a detailed overview of the practice of using simulation simulators in nursing education, offering valuable information about their diverse use and impact on student learning outcomes. The review includes analysis of various types of simulations, including high-precision mannequins, virtual reality scenarios, and computer simulations. Through systematic study of the literature, this paper highlights the multifaceted benefits of simulation learning, such as the development of clinical reasoning, critical thinking skills, improved communication and teamwork of nursing students. In addition, the review also looks at the broader implications for patient safety, highlights the role of simulation in providing a controlled environment for students to practice clinical skills without compromising patient well-being. The paper highlights the potential of simulation scenarios to reproduce real problems in healthcare, allowing students to develop competence and self-confidence in a risk-free setting. The results of the research literature review, in our view, can serve as a valuable resource for educators, researchers and medical professionals seeking to improve nursing training by strategically integrating simulation simulators and the practice of junior medical personnel. By providing a nuanced understanding of current practice and future directions, the paper seeks to empower stakeholders to shape the transformative and progressive landscape of nursing education, ultimately benefiting both students and patients they will serve in their future careers in healthcare.

Keywords: training of nurses, simulation simulators, clinical thinking, patient safety, realistic review.
