Monday, November 10th, 2025 | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CT

Hospitals are under pressure to ensure nurses are confident, competent and ready for high-stakes patient care — especially as clinical experience gaps widen. Forward-thinking organizations are turning to virtual reality to build nursing skills across all career stages, from onboarding to advanced practice.

In this session, you'll hear from a panel of VR simulation, clinical education and nursing leaders — including experts from OMS, Meta and hospitals actively using immersive simulation today. They'll unpack how to scale VR simulation to support safer practice, stronger retention and improved readiness at the bedside.

Insights include:
 
  • How hospitals are using VR to reduce variability and standardize nurse readiness
  • Where immersive simulation drives measurable improvements in clinical competence and patient safety
  • Practical strategies for launching or expanding VR training programs sustainably
