This study aimed to evaluate the effects of community nursing simulation education on the nursing core competencies, clinical performance, and clinical judgment in home-visit nursing of nursing college students. A nonequivalent control group pretest–post-test design was used. Data were collected in August 2024 from the control group (n = 65) and in February 2025 from the experimental group (n = 64), with both groups comprising fourth-year students older than 20 years and from the same nursing college in Korea. Data analysis included an independent t-test carried out using SPSS 25.0 software. We found significant differences between the control and experimental groups in terms of the students’ nursing core competence (t = 4.88, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.86), clinical judgment (t = 4.53, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.80), and clinical competence (t = 4.52, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.00). The simulation education program applied in this study can be utilized as an intervention for nursing college students and be further developed for nursing students from other universities.
