Abstract
The demand for competent nurses with sharp critical thinking abilities and sound clinical competence has grown exponentially in recent years due to the increasing complexity of healthcare delivery systems, particularly in medical- surgical settings. Traditional classroom lectures and occasional clinical postings often fail to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical skill execution. Simulation-Based Training (SBT) has emerged as a transformative strategy in nursing education, providing safe, controlled, and realistic environments where students can engage in active learning. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of simulation-based training on enhancing critical thinking and clinical competence in nursing students specializing in medical-surgical practice. Using a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, 120 final-year nursing students were assessed through standardized tests, clinical performance checklists, and structured questionnaires. Results indicate that students exposed to simulation-based training exhibited significant improvement in critical thinking scores, clinical judgment, intervention skills, and communication, as compared to those taught through traditional methods. The findings suggest that simulation is not merely an educational supplement but a necessary pedagogical tool for preparing future nurses
