Objectives: The study aims to findout the effectiveness of simulation on the students knowledge toward Cardiopulmonary resuscitation for adults Methodology: a quasi-experimental design study with pre test , post test and post test were conducted to identify the effectiveness of simulation on the students knowledge toward Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The study starting from November th to the May th on students at th years in the College of Nursing / University of Baghdad , the instrument was consist of the Australian guide for Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation , the instrument consist of 1 questions that measure the Basic and advance life support, the reliability of the study was measured through test retest method = .

, the researcher use the descriptive and inferential statistics to analyze data The results of the study : differences in the mean among the pre test , post test and post test were calculated by using Paired Samples T test , the results show a highly statistical significat differences (p ), the mean ( , and ) for pre test , post test and post test respectively show a a marked increase in the knowledge of students toward Cardio-pulmunary resuscitation Conclusion: the study conclude that a significant increase in the students knowledge were found when using a high-fidelity Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Simulation in the training of the students.

Recommendations: according to the findings of the study the researcher recommend to provide and use a high fidelity simulation in the students training.
