Introduction: The use of realistic simulation in health education has grown rapidly in teaching centers across Brazil. Its implementation in teaching, enables the experience in real situations, in addition to reproducing all aspects of the clinical environment, enabling the team to manage real situations with excellence. Objective: To report the experience of using realistic simulations in the discipline of "Comprehensive Care for Women's Health" at a private university. Methodology: This is an experience report based on a realistic simulation activity carried out by nursing students in the 6th semester during the discipline of "Comprehensive Care for Women's Health". Results and discussion: during the experience, a realistic simulation of a clinical case with the theme "Gestational Diabetes" was elaborated, in which a group of 7 students simulated the nursing consultation to a patient diagnosed with the pathology. Conclusion: The simulation reinforced the learning of students who performed cases aimed at real care in certain complications caused by diseases that affect women's health.
