Introduction: Simulation strategy is a modern technique for teaching nursing around the world. One of its many benefits is the implementation of pre-prepared situations in a safe environment. The introduction of simulation into theoretical training is beneficial for students, lecturers, and the faculty. Goal: To investigate the effectiveness of the simulation process for teaching nursing.

Methods: This paper is a literary review. It is processed using a four-step system. We used the acronym PECOT. We used online platforms for the research, such as PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, EBSCO, and Scopus. We visited the Academic Library of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice and the National Library in Prague.

Results: We identified 7 studies (four experimental studies, two review studies and one quantitative-exploratory study) and included them in our study. The simulation process is considered a highly effective teaching method, which benefits the students, lecturers, and the faculty.

Conclusions: The simulation process is one of the modern techniques of teaching nursing. The mentioned results indicate a high level of teaching effectiveness using this method. In all registered cases, the simulation strategy is assessed as more effective than other methods used so far, such as frontal teaching, video demonstrations, or simple demonstrations.
