Background: This article gives support to the oral presentation with the same title presented at the 5th Congress on Nursing Research of Ibero-American and Portuguese-speaking Countries. It puts forward a set of arguments that support the use of simulated practice in nursing education. Objectives: To analyze how simulated practice contributes to the learning and development process of nurses and nursing. Methodology: Theoretical study derived from the author's knowledge and experience, using recent evidence to provide consistent results. Results: The results underline the importance of simulation as a pedagogical strategy in the process of development of nursing skills, based on the dimensions of ethics and esthetics, knowledge, efficiency and effectiveness, emotions and relationships, leadership and, inevitably, patient safety. Conclusion: Simulation is an effective pedagogical strategy, with positive outcomes for nursing education and development, what justifies greater investment in this area.
