Reinventing Nursing Education Through Technology

Description:

COVID-19 has exacerbated the nursing shortage. Increasing the ranks of qualified nurses has become an even greater challenge as traditional higher education institutions grapple to adjust to new realities. Now is the time to reinvent nursing education, which generally recognizes in-person live clinicals, through the use of AI, VR, and AR.
