The nursing education landscape in India has undergone significant changes over the past several decades. The current state of nursing education in India presents a mixed picture. On the one hand, there has been an expansion of nursing education programs, with the number of nursing colleges and institutions increasing substantially in recent years. The standardization of nursing curricula and training programs marked a significant milestone in the professionalization of nursing in India. This initiative aimed to ensure consistent quality in nursing education across the country, enabling nurses to develop a uniform set of skills and knowledge. As a result, the standardization efforts helped to elevate the overall competency of nurses and improved the quality of healthcare delivery throughout India. As nursing education in India continues to evolve, it is essential that innovative approaches are explored to better prepare students for the realities of clinical practice. One such approach is the incorporation of high-fidelity simulation.
