Abstract The article is a theoretical review of literature. In total 38 sources were used. The aim of this article is to describe the classes of the healthcare simulationbased learning, the conduction and effectiveness of simulation-based learning within patient safety in the basic and continuing nursing education. Simulation-based learning can be divided into the high-tech dummies that emulate different functions of the human body and low-quality dummies without technological input. Computer-based simulations and standardized patients have also been used. Conduction of simulation-based learning is a complicated process which requires a thorough advanced planning. While planning, different stages are carried out to achieve the utmost effectiveness of simulation-based learning. Before starting with simulation, an information briefing is organised where participants are prepared for simulation. Simulation is followed by debriefing between its participants where major situations and problems are talked over, thus ensuring an opportunity to learn from mistakes. Simulation-based learning can make patient safety more effective both for students of nursing speciality and working nurses. Students improve their knowledge and skills in practical activity, administration of medication and clinical discussions. Simulation-based learning helps students to get ready for real clinical practice. Nursing students and nurses improve abilities of working 71
