Abstract: This study explores the innovation and practice of a student-operated simulated nursing ward based on Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) principles. Implemented at Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, the model involved undergraduate nursing students in autonomous management of a simulated nursing ward through a structured organizational framework. Results demonstrated enhanced teaching effectiveness, optimized resource allocation, and promoted educational reform by bridging theory and practice. The approach effectively developed students’ clinical, managerial, and innovative competencies. While limitations remain, this model offers a valuable reference for reforming nursing laboratory training and advancing competency-oriented education.
