Abstract :This study was conducted to analyze the effect of simulation on student success in teaching of nursing care in myocardial infarction which is given within the scope of the internal medicine nursing course. In the case of myocardial infarction, the 100-point academic achievement test was applied before the simulation application based on the nursing care scenario. The same achievement test was applied again after the simulation application. Frequency, percentage, chi-square, t-test insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Paired Samples t test); were used in the evaluation of the data. The level of significance was accepted as 0.05. The mean of the academic success test scores of the students was found to be 44.22 before the simulation while it was found to be 63.77 after the simulation on the scale of 100. This difference was statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The creation of the environments which are close to real environment and the learning it by the students by experience are thought to increase the permanence of the education
