For Nurses By Nurses

SimX for nursing was built by nurses for nursing educators to align with your curriculum and support learning for both pre- and post-licensure nurses. Each SimX scenario presents an immersive patient encounter where learners can practice and gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to be high-functioning, high-performing nurses. With SimX, educators can rest assured that each Virtual Reality (VR) scenario challenges learners to think critically, bridging the gap between the classroom and a healthcare environment.

Training Better Nurses

Prepare learners for real-life patient encounters and further education through immersive and engaging VR simulations built according to current best practices for simulation. SimX scenarios are developed with a deep understanding of the rigorous standards for nursing practice and licensure.

The Benefits of SimX VR for Nursing

Interprofessional

SimX believes healthcare professionals should learn and develop together. Our patented multiplayer functionality allows learners to train in interprofessional teams to promote professional engagement and support team communication in diverse virtual environments.

Flexible

Set up training sessions anywhere in a fraction of the time it takes to run traditional manikin-based simulations! Run SimX in a classroom, office space, or even your living room with remote learning. You can even leverage clinical experts worldwide through distance learning.

Immersive

Experience realistic patient encounters in intuitive virtual environments where learners can communicate with virtual patients to anticipate their needs and prioritize patient care just as they would in real life.

Custom

Educators can customize their VR simulation scenarios to the specific needs of their institutions. Virtual tools, environments, and patient encounters can be implemented in various ways to create meaningful simulations that align with your unique learning objectives.

Training The Next Generation of Nursing Experts

SimX gives you the tools you need to prepare the next generation of nurses to face the challenges and complexities of modern healthcare systems. We have the largest simulation marketplace with over 250 immersive patient encounters that cover core capabilities, skillsets, and attitudes essential to practicing person-centered care.

What’s included?

Elsevier SLS with VR

Elsevier and SimX have worked together to adapt Elsevier’s Simulation Learning System into a series of immersive, accessible, and impactful VR patient encounters. The SimX Elsevier curriculum (or SLS with VR) includes a variety of patient encounters where learners must display skill sets from multiple specialties, including pediatrics, psychiatry, maternity, and other fundamentals of care and treatment.

The SimX Marketplace

The SimX marketplace is an industry-first comprehensive medical scenario marketplace for EMS, nursing, and other clinicians. In the online marketplace, users can search through all cases made available by the SimX team and partnered institutions.

Virtual Manikin Series

The SimX virtual manikin series allows you to choose between different patients, diagnoses, and treatment options all in one system. Virtual manikins can be quickly modified and customized to meet the needs of both learners and educators. In real-time, the facilitators can customize and control patient vitals, animations, lab and imaging results, final diagnosis, and much more!
