This month, Elsevier’s world leading education team and SimX’s best-in-class VR simulation engine have come together to produce the most comprehensive VR healthcare curriculum ever developed – the Simulation Learning System for RN with Virtual Reality (SLS with VR). Building on the Simulation Learning System’s evidence-based simulation scenarios and activities, SLS with VR features 100 virtual reality scenarios covering everything from inpatient to mass casualty, leveraging the latest virtual reality technology to provide students with a safe, ultra-realistic virtual environment where they can gain valuable hands-on patient care experience and enhance their clinical judgment skills.

“This is one of those rare opportunities when we can leverage technology to make something cheaper, easier, and more effective” said SimX CEO and Stanford Medical School Faculty Dr. Ryan Ribeira. “VR sim sets up anywhere, which means instructors can integrate sim into lectures, small group sessions, even send students home with headsets so they can work together in multiplayer simulation scenarios facilitated by an instructor remotely.”

SLS with VR is a complete solution for enhancing your clinical decision-making skills, bridging the gap between lecture and clinicals, and offering powerful assessment tools — all in an exciting and realistic virtual reality setting. This innovative new solution reduces the need for sim labs, manikins, and other simulation lab equipment. The best part is, SLS with VR allows instructors to facilitate the simulations like they would in a traditional simulation lab, and students to immerse themselves in the most realistic clinical nursing environment possible. Each simulation experience also includes crucial pre- and post- simulation activities, debriefing guidance, and more.
