Methods A total of 400 nursing undergraduate students of the 2011 grade were given the simulated intensive training before the practice, and the evaluation and satisfaction degree of the nursing students were investigated by self-designed questionnaire. Results 98.7% nursing students thought that it was necessary to carry out intensive training, 85.9% believed that it met their expectations, 91.4% of the students considered that it was helpful to adjust themselves to clinical nursing activity, 72.3%~91.1% thought that it was helpful to improve the comprehensive ability, and the degree of satisfaction was relatively high.
