Objective To investigate the curriculum construction and evaluation of teaching effectiveness of simulation and comprehensive experiment for clinical nursing. Methods Based on the investigation of hospital, taking working progress and working task of nurses as orientation, we constructed the curriculum of simulation and comprehensive experiment for clinical nursing, and unfold in junior class (before clinical practice) for student nurses. The teaching effect was evaluated. Results Unfolding simulation and comprehensive experiment could effectively enhance the nursing students' ability to transform theoretical knowledge into clinical nursing practice, and was favorable to change the role of nurses and improve the satisfaction degree of clinical practice.Conclusions Unfolding simulation and comprehensive experiment for clinical nursing for student nurses before clinical practice is practicable and essential.
