The use of clinical simulation in technical nursing education. Revista Enfermagem UERJ. Revista Enfermagem UERJ, Rio de Janeiro, v. 33, n. 1, p. e88144, 2025. DOI: 10.12957/reuerj.2025.88144.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/68440Objective: to discuss the use of clinical simulation in technical nursing education by identifying, synthesizing, and analyzing the scientific knowledge produced, as well as describing a case involving the implementation of simulation in technical-level training. Method: descriptive and exploratory study conducted in two phases: a scoping review and a single case study addressing the implementation of technical education at a private technical nursing school, with exemption from ethical approval. Results: the review showed that simulated practices in technical education include activities designed for research purposes, which are not part of the standard curriculum and have not been used to strengthen or expand professional training in the country. The case study demonstrates that well-structured projects with institutional support can make the use of simulation feasible in technical nursing education, generating impact and ensuring and enhancing patient care. Conclusion: clinical simulation is a viable approach in the education of nursing technicians.enAttribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Educação em EnfermagemInovação TecnológicaTreinamento com Simulação de Alta FidelidadeTécnicos de EnfermagemEducation NursingInventionsHigh Fidelity Simulation TrainingLicensed Practical NursesEducación en EnfermeríaInvencionesEnseñanza Mediante Simulación de Alta FidelidadEnfermeros no Diplomadosarticlehttps://doi.org/10.12957/reuerj.2025.88144
