Nursing Schools
Staffing shortages demand that new and inexperienced nursing students graduate and rush into clinical practice before they would have before the pandemic. This results in fear, anxiety, burnout, disillusionment, hardening, lack of excellence and pride, and ultimately poor reference for future nursing students.
Nursing students are often not ready for difficult patients and families, acute hectic scenarios, or how to view and treat patients as people and vice versa. Empathy, scope, and experience are often lacking in the new-grad. Virtual reality can help.
Medical Schools
Given the rigors of medical school and the new culture of electronic medical records and employee-based organizations, medical students often lack the empathy required to reach success in their careers, provide top care to their patients, and attain satisfaction in their chosen profession. This can lead to burnout, disillusionment, hardening, matriculation, and ultimately poor reference for future medical students. Virtual reality can help.
