virtual reality
VR is changing the way nurses learn and patients heal. In nursing education, immersive VR simulations allow students to practice skills and critical thinking in lifelike scenarios without risk to patients. Clinically, VR is being used for patient education, anxiety reduction during procedures, and pain management in settings like burn units. As healthcare embraces simulation and digital therapeutics, VR equips nurses with the confidence and competence to care for complex patient needs.
