Available from Nasco Healthcare, the MVR-Nursing virtual simulator allows learners to interact with virtual patients and receive real-time feedback on their performance. The use of virtual reality (VR) in medical simulation has become an increasingly important tool in modern healthcare education. VR enables learners to enhance their critical thinking skills in preparation for real-life situations through immersive environments that can replicate real-world medical scenarios with incredible realism. For healthcare learners, this means the ability to practice medical procedures and sharpen their decision-making skills in a safe, controlled setting without risking potential harm to real patients. An error made in a virtual scenario can serve as an invaluable learning experience. This HealthySimulation.com article will explore how MVR-Nursing can prepare nursing students to Be READY for clinical practice.
This virtual reality simulator is an innovative product that offers high level graphics in both routine and emergency medical scenarios, enabling learners to interact with virtual patients in a highly immersive setting. Learners receive instant feedback on their performance while seeing the impact of their actions and decisions in real time.

Over 100 Interactive Items
MVR-Nursing offers an impressive immersive experience with over 100 interactive items that include medical instruments, equipment, and consumables. MVR-Nursing provides haptic feedback that replicates the sensation of actual instruments which allows learners to perform simulated procedures in a way that feels realistic.
Comprehensive Collection of Clinical Cases
MVR-Nursing features a comprehensive collection of clinical cases that includes overviews of emergency care, ICU management, medical care, and pediatric care. Learners can effectively practice important skills such as CPR, airway management, defibrillation, ECG interpretation, medication administration, and more that ultimately improves their readiness for real-world clinical practice.
Extensive Library of Patient Profiles
MVR-Nursing’s extensive library of patient profiles and customizable clinical scenarios empowers instructors to tailor training to specific objectives. The use of interactive dialogue, medical instruments, and haptic feedback further deepens the learning experience through the simulated sensation of real-life medical procedures. MVR-Nursing features over 10 virtual patients of diverse ages, genders, and body types that offer interactive dialogue and support a wide range of examinations that include visual, instrumental, and palpation assessments, as well as interventions such as CPR, artificial ventilation, and defibrillation.
Completely Customizable Scenarios
With the case manager, instructors can customize scenarios and monitor the performance of the learner against established protocols and standards. Instructors also have control over scenario customization when training experiences are created to meet specific objectives.
Mechanical Ventilation
The mechanical ventilation functionality enables learners to practice respiratory support skills for patients with various respiratory disorders. The interface offers a wide range of ventilation modes, both mandatory and supportive, along with options to select additional parameters. Ventilation can be performed with or without intubation and includes capnography monitoring. The ventilator is not tied to any specific brand which allows flexibility in mode and parameter selection to closely simulate real-life scenarios. Full synchronization of visual effects displays volume, flow, and pressure graphs, along with animations of the patient’s chest movements.
Crew Resource Management and Team Interaction
Crew Resource Management (CRM) is a methodology designed to enhance safety and reduce errors through team interaction and coordination improvement. CRM is particularly valuable in medical fields such as anesthesiology, resuscitation, intensive care, and operating rooms, where cohesive teamwork is crucial for effective patient care. Scenarios in the simulator replicate conditions that involve collaboration with doctors and other nurses to enhance skills in teamwork, role allocation, and effective information exchange.
Decision-Making Under Stress and Leadership Development
Students practice decision-making skills in critical situations to enable them to better adapt to real environments where speed and accuracy in decision-making can save a patient’s life. MVR-Nursing helps teach nurses not only to interact with a team but also to take on leadership roles in complex situations where team organization is necessary.
Medical Care
Users can practice the management of assorted diseases and chronic conditions to refine clinical skills such as oxygen administration, nebulizer use, and ECG monitoring in a safe, controlled environment. The platform also highlights medication management and potential complications and offers a comprehensive, practical learning experience.
Pediatric Care
MVR-Nursing offers a wide range of common childhood illnesses and their treatment options. Learners are immersed in realistic clinical scenarios and can apply their knowledge in a hands-on environment to build confidence in high-quality care delivery. With simulated clinical experiences, learners can be better prepared to take on the unique challenges of pediatric healthcare in real-life settings.
Emergency Scenarios
In critical moments, enhanced virtual teamwork through simulated collaboration can help ensure more effective patient care in the real world. Learners practice lifesaving skills, collect vital data, and implement resuscitation protocols. MVR-Nursing helps improve teamwork in urgent care settings.
