augmented reality
AR overlays digital information onto the physical world, offering unique applications in nursing education and clinical care. For students, AR enables interactive anatomy lessons and step-by-step procedural guides directly in their field of vision. In clinical practice, AR is being piloted for vein visualization, surgical planning, and remote assistance. As healthcare technology evolves, nurses trained in AR tools will be better prepared to support tech-enabled workflows and patient education.

Intro
Meet Your Student
You’re mentoring Jordan, a first-semester nursing student struggling to master basic skills like sterile technique and catheter insertion. Your program has introduced AR glasses that let students watch RCC skills videos hands-free while practicing in the lab.
Jordan says: "So I just wear these and it’ll show me exactly what to do? What if I mess up because I’m watching a video instead of focusing?"
As their mentor, you know AR can support self-directed learning but also recognize the need for balance.
