Then, the retrieved results were limited to English and Persian language and studies during 2002 to 2013; 50 books, articles and web sites were categorized and assessed. Initially, simulation concept was explained, and, afterwards, simulation types and stages were introduced. Then, requirements of simulation in nursing education and its challenges facing the use of this approach were reviewed.
