Using Virtual Reality to Improve Communication and Collaboration in Nursing Teams
In a time of supervised clinical site rotation scarcity, immersive VR simulations help fill the opportunity gap for soft-skills training.

There are some lingering misconceptions around the use of VR that are likely to give instructors pause when considering whether to add a VR component to the nursing curriculum. This article addresses five common misconceptions about immersive VR simulations.
The TSX Venture Exchange has a strong history of helping early-stage health and life sciences companies raise patient capital for research and development.
Immersive scenarios in VR allow nursing education programs to enhance and scale the hands-on experiences they provide learners for developing and practicing critical skills.
During a critical nursing shortage, practicing nurses want to be allowed more time for teaching and mentoring fellow nurse learners, as there are multiple benefits for both sides that could result in improved satisfaction.
When real-life failure is not an option, practicing curated, trial-and-error simulations in VR can reduce patient risk in high-acuity scenarios. With nursing faculty also in short supply and a wave rapidly approaching retirement age, virtual reality simulations can help bridge the gap between learners needing supervised clinical experiences, and time-pressed preceptors, who have their own patients to care for in addition to guiding novices in clinical settings.
