Nursing simulation teaching is one of the important measures in nursing teaching reform. As an advanced medical teaching model, SimMan synthetic simulation has been recognized by medical educators both at home and abroad for its advantages of high simulation, repeatability, case diversity and process controllability. Our country has relied on the SimMan synthesis simulation person to carry on the nursing simulation teaching for many years, usually as a teaching strategy into the course of teaching. Its advantages and innovation are affirmed by nursing educators and learners, but still face challenges in the design of simulation teaching, the development of functions and the improvement of equipment utilization. It is worthy discussing deeply by nursing educators.
