When it comes to healthcare training and education, simulation is a core component designed to apply, test, and refine clinical skills in a safe environment for the learner. There are many ways to accomplish this, from traditional methods like manikin-based simulations and the use of standardized patients to more modern methods like virtual simulation and […]

Running a sim lab is serious business! Imagine… You’re in charge of running and maintaining your institution’s simulation lab, complete with manikins, task trainers, and, at times, standardized patients. As part of your role, you must coordinate the schedules of all 200 nursing students and faculty for a day of simulation – not to mention […]

Time flies – and it seems like technology is advancing at warp speed. Children growing up with this new set of technology, like Chat GPT and VR gaming, are likely to have expectations around its use in their education, as well. With that in mind as a wave of the future nursing generation, alongside the […]

New Brunswick, Canada is a large yet rural province. Finding ways to support the healthcare needs of rural communities is a key challenge for the faculty in the nursing program at the University of New Brunswick (UNB), who have successfully incorporated virtual reality within the Learn Where You Live (LWYL) Program. The Learn Where You […]

Virtual reality is a hot topic these days, particularly in healthcare education and training – and for good reason.
VR scenarios are helping learners across the lifespan of their careers. From junior learners working on building foundational skills to newly licensed practitioners transitioning to practice to advanced clinicians continuing their education, there’s something there for everyone.
The implementation of VR scenarios can provide an immersive and meaningful learning experience that directly impacts learners and ultimately leads to better patient care.

‘Tis the season!
Nursing students all across the United States are getting ready for graduation, preparing to sit for the Next Gen NCLEX, and gearing up for the transition to practice.
While a very exciting time, it’s certainly a transition to go from nursing student to practicing bedside nurse.
New nurses need support and mentorship, which is why many elect to move forward in a nurse residency program. And the learning doesn’t stop there (as you likely know!).
Lifelong learning is a hallmark of clinical practice, and with so many new ways to learn, it only makes sens ..read more

At a time when learners are most vulnerable, learning brand new skills, in a whole new world, and likely overwhelmed, it’s the educators who are steering and guiding them along the path to being fully-fledged clinicians.
As educators pioneer new waves of teaching and learning, there’s been a lot of adoption of AI-powered tech like virtual reality. And even if you’re an educator at the helm of it all, implementing an entirely new form of simulation can feel daunting to say the least.
