The evolving complexity of critical care settings has placed increased demands on nursing professionals, particularly those working in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). In this context, I would like to highlight the urgent need to integrate simulation-based training as a core component of ICU nurse education and professional development in India. Simulation offers a safe, reproducible, and learner-centric approach to mastering essential clinical competencies, and is no longer a luxury but a necessity in modern healthcare education.
