Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) are a desirable career path for nurses in over 70 countries around the world. Services provided by highly qualified nurses are safe for patients and bring systemic economic benefits. APN in wound care is most visible in Australia. The implementation of the APN concept began in 2013 at the Specialist Hospital in Wejherowo, where the first APN Nurse position in Poland was created in the field of chronic wound and pressure ulcer management.

The need for simulation in medical education is increasing, mainly because there are more students than available patients. Another reason is that patients often don’t allow students to examine them, which requires adding simulated training ses-sions. Simulation technology has advanced a lot, making it more realistic. These classes occur in a safe and controlled en-vironment, which can be repeated and include complex scenarios. Some research validates the use of simulated wounds, but it would be useful to study how this training improves real patient care, especially for Polish students.
