Abstract

To improve nursing students' learning strategies, this study shows how virtual reality may be used in nursing education. By providing the students with practice scenarios in virtual reality that are analogous to the events they would encounter in the real world, the goal is to increase student confidence. Theoretical knowledge is applied in nursing education. Patient safety is essential to the nursing curriculum. Nursing students struggle during clinical practice to communicate with patients or other healthcare professionals, make medication mistakes, and decide what actions to undertake in novel scenarios. Patient safety is in danger as a result of all these issues.

However, nurses should always keep in mind the ethical precept of first, do not harm when carrying out treatments because it is a fundamental human right. Through experiences that align with their knowledge, skills, and emotional objectives, nursing students can contribute to the development of a culture of patient safety.

Clinical environments may be equipped with mannequins, actual laboratories, etc. Virtual reality simulations assist nursing students to strengthen their abilities, boost their confidence, and get ready for clinical practice by demonstrating what it is like to be in a real-world clinical setting and any hazards they could face there. The impact of virtual reality simulations on skill acquisition and patient safety in nursing education has been covered in this section.
