Virtual Reality is Transforming Nursing Education: Insights from UbiSim

In the latest Sim Café podcast, hosts Deb Tauber and Jerrod Jeffries sit down with UbiSim’s nurse educators to discuss how virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing nursing education. Recognized as Time’s Best Invention of 2024, UbiSim’s immersive VR platform provides customizable, evidence-based scenarios that help students build clinical judgment, empathy, and teamwork skills.

The team highlighted VR's ability to address challenges like limited resources and clinical opportunities, offering repeatable, high-fidelity simulations that enhance confidence and competence. UbiSim also supports competency-based education by aligning with AACN essentials and NCLEX requirements.

Looking ahead, UbiSim plans to expand cultural competency scenarios and improve VR tools, such as hand-tracking for skill-based learning. The message is clear: VR is the future of nursing education, empowering students and educators alike.
