The nursing simulation lab, is an educational space that recreates real situations of nursing care. It is a tool that enhances learning the different techniques that all nursing students must acquire before contact with the patient and specifically with the activity of the nurse in the hospital field. The simulation lab is a space that demonstrates the health care procedures where students can develop their abilities to "know how to be", "know what to do" and "know how to act" in a health care context (especially hospitals) .
From the first course, students learn clinical nursing skills in the lab, in an environment free from the many existing stressors in the hospital world. Subsequently, the student must put these skills into practice directly with people. This practice should serve to apply knowledge, skills and attitudes from a holistic perspective of care for people.

During the third course students should acquire advanced skills and start implementing a specialized attention to the patient's care (acute situation, critical condition, surgery ...)
