Nursing is facing a new reality with the inclusion of new strategies in the teaching/learning process. With highfidelity simulation, the student acquires skills in a controlled and risk-free environment. A systematic literature review was conducted from December 2010 to February 2011 to identify the best scientific evidence on the gains perceived by the Nursing students in relation to high-fidelity simulation practice using specific inclusion criteria, descriptors and databases. Nine papers of high methodological quality were selected, which had been published between 2005 and 2011. The following themes emerged: satisfaction, learning and motivation, realism, self-confidence, technical skills, reflection on action, and transfer of skills. High-fidelity simulation is valued by students for increasing their cognitive and psychomotor perception of the clinical reality that awaits them and raises a lot of apprehension.
