Virtual Reality Opens New World
of Learning Opportunities
USI's Nursing Program is leading the way in healthcare education by integrating cutting-edge Virtual Reality (VR) simulations into the curriculum. This immersive technology allows students to step into realistic clinical environments where they can safely practice medication administration from start to finish. Through these simulations, students gain hands-on experience with everything from calculating dosages and preparing medications to verifying patient identity and following safety protocols. The result is a powerful learning experience that builds confidence, sharpens clinical judgment and significantly reduces the risk of medication errors in real-world settings.
This innovative approach not only enhances student learning but also demonstrates USI's commitment to excellence, patient safety and preparing future nurses to thrive in a fast-evolving healthcare landscape.
Students experience VR in the new Clinical Simulation Center, located on the lower level of the Health Professions Center.
