Virtual distance Education for Nurses

During the simulation, students role-played using their avatars to select interventions for a patient suffering chest pain and cardiac dysrhythmia. The patient’s vital signs were projected on the back wall of the ER bay and were updated throughout the session.

Students chose from a group of simulated real-life interventions, including oxygen hookups, medication, CPR, defibrillation, or IV therapy, with their avatars doing the work on screen. Then the simulated patient, controlled by either the instructor or another student, responded realistically to what the students chose.
