Achieve the clinical outcomes you need with virtual reality

vrClinicals for Nursing is a unique VR solution that helps students build measurable competence in clinical judgment, allowing them to practice effective time management, prioritization of patients, delegation, and communication with patients while caring for multiple patients in a busy, hospital setting with interruptions and evolving patient conditions. Aligned with the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model, vrClinicals has been developed as a collaboration between Laerdal, Wolters Kluwer Health, and the National League for Nursing.

Support your students in their transition to practice

  • Nurses are expected to make complex decisions, which can have a huge impact on patient outcomes.
  • vrClinicals provides the students with the opportunity to practice prioritization and refine their clinical judgment skills by exposing them to multiple patients in a busy hospital with interruptions and unexpected complications.
  • Students can communicate with the patients, just like they would with a real patient, thereby strengthening their skills in patient communication and increasing their confidence and readiness for transitioning to practice.
