Abstract

In this paper, we argue that virtual reality (VR) simulations can be used to (a) scaffold nursing students’ practice of cognitive-psychomotor-social skills, and (b) provide feedback on their decisions; thus, mimicking what prelicensure students can expect to encounter in the real workplace. To demonstrate this possibility, we undertake a quantitative ethnographic (QE) examination of modeling faculty and student discourse in VR simulations and associated debriefing sessions and interpreting how quality and safety education for nurses (QSEN) competencies of patient center-care, teamwork and collaboration, and safety are practiced in the context of a fundamentals of nursing scenario. Combining the affordances of VR and QE can help transform nursing education research and practice on supporting and measuring students’ emerging clinical readiness.
