Scale Clinical Judgment Across Your Nursing Program

VR simulation is becoming a curriculum standard for nursing programs. UbiSim gives your sim team the scenarios, editor, and facilitation options to implement it, and gives your leadership the outcomes to back it.

VR Simulation Is Becoming Curriculum Standard

Nursing programs are no longer asking whether VR belongs in the curriculum. They're building it into required rotations and measuring it against traditional clinical. The programs that started first are now reporting what it does for them.

Specialty experience, on schedule.

OB, pediatrics, and rare events your students may never see on placement, available every term.

Hands-on learning for all.

Students care for the patient instead of watching from the back of the room.

More students, same faculty.

Run simulation across larger cohorts without adding clinical sites or lab hours.

Built to Fit Your Sim Program, At Any Stage

Whether you're scaling an established lab or building with a small team, UbiSim works alongside what you have and adds what a physical lab can't scale: repeatable, standardized practice for every student.

Scenarios built for pre-licensure

60+ scenarios aligned to the NCLEX Test Plan, the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, and AACN Essentials.

An editor that fits your curriculum

Adapt any catalog scenario or build your own cases from scratch in just a few clicks. No coding experience needed.

Your team coaches, AI runs the dialogue

Students talk naturally with patients, family members, and physicians, and AI responds in context within clinical guardrails.

Debriefs that start with the data

AI-Enhanced Analytics show each learner's strengths and gaps by NCLEX Client Needs category, next to a full dialogue transcript.

A 50% Enrollment Expansion, Built on VR Simulation

When the University of Manitoba's College of Nursing raised seat capacity by 50% in Fall 2022, hospital placements didn't grow with it. The team built UbiSim into every clinical course, adapted scenarios to Manitoba's clinical realities in the Editor, and now runs VR at full scale across all 1,000 undergraduate students.

Kimberly Workum

“We increased our program by 50%, but as you can imagine, physical space in the hospitals has not increased by 50%. […] We wouldn't be able to do this program expansion without UbiSim.”

Kimberly Workum, RN, BScN, MEd, CHSE, CCNE, Director, Clinical Competence Assessment Centre and Digital Strategy, Manitoba College of Nursing

The Outcomes Your Peers Are Already Reporting

Programs like yours are using UbiSim to grow capacity, protect clinical experience, and prepare students for the NCLEX Test Plan.

Enrollment capacity expansion

Programs report accepting more students once simulation is no longer limited by lab space and faculty hours.

NCLEX Test Plan readiness

Scenarios are built on the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and aligned to NCLEX Test Plan, so practice maps to what students are tested on.

Clinical experience you can count on

VR gives students consistent exposure to specialty and high-risk care when placements fall short.

Outcomes you can report

AI-Enhanced Analytics track learner performance, giving you the data for curriculum reviews, budget conversations, and leadership updates.

Getting Started Is a Plan, Not a Leap

Every program gets onboarding and implementation support from UbiSim's nurse educator team.

Planning around a grant? Many programs fund UbiSim through HRSA, state workforce, or simulation grants. We can help you build the case before grant season opens.

1. Map it to your curriculum

Our nurse educators align scenarios to your courses and learning outcomes from day one.

2. Prepare your faculty

Receive hands-on onboarding so your team can confidently run sessions, use the editor, and debrief with analytics.

3. Measure and grow

Track performance across cohorts and add scenarios as your curriculum evolves.

We already have a strong sim program. Where does VR fit?

UbiSim adds to it. Programs use VR alongside manikins to give every student repeatable, standardized practice, including specialty and rare cases that are hard to stage in a physical lab.

How is UbiSim different from other VR options?

UbiSim is built only for nursing, by nurses. You get a catalog aligned to the NCLEX Test Plan and AACN Essentials, an editor for your own curriculum, nurse-validated AI dialogue and analytics, and hands-on implementation support from nurse educators.

Is UbiSim aligned with industry standards?

Each scenario aligns with the Next Generation NCLEX-RN® test plan, the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, and the AACN Essentials Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education.

Do faculty need to be present?

With AI-Powered Dialogue, the AI responds to learners in context, so no one has to trigger prompts during the scenario, and learners can rehearse as often as they need. Faculty focus on reviewing performance and leading the debrief.

We don't have budget this term. What are our options?

Many programs start with a small pilot or plan around grant cycles, which typically open in Q1. We can help you scope a pilot and build the funding case now.

Is implementation included, and how long does it take?

Implementation is a separate one-time package. UbiSim offers three tiers: Basic (~5 weeks), Essentials (~6 weeks), and Custom (scoped pricing and timing). Each includes a kickoff call with a dedicated CSM, technical setup, self-paced training, and a 30-day post-launch check-in. Essentials and Custom add virtual consultation sessions for administrators and staff; Custom adds scenario customization and on-site support options.

Can UbiSim scenarios be customized?

Yes. The UbiSim Editor lets your team adjust patient details, vital signs, and scenario events in a few steps, or start from scratch to build a new case. Faculty can tailor scenarios to their courses on their own. Browse our extensive catalog.

Does UbiSim work on all VR headsets?

UbiSim works on the entire wireless Quest family of headsets, including Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro. Headsets are not included with a UbiSim purchase.
