-allows repeated practice sessions and learning from error
-requires clinical decision making in a controlled environment
-exposes students to a variety of patient conditions
-permits immediate feedback
-customizable to different learning levels
-portable
Cons
-expensive and requires routine updates
-frequent advances make technology obsolete quickly
-some technology is fragile
-subject to technological "glitches"]]> 2017-07-25 01:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuentes4/mtw3uv2m544o/wish/179361384 jfuentes4 https://padlet.com/jfuentes4/mtw3uv2m544o/wish/179362430 It is difficult to argue with the premise that technology will play a significant role in the future of health care.  The nature of virtual reality makes it especially relevant to nursing education because it offers participative learning as individuals or as teams, and it is without serious implications (other than bruised egos) in the event of failed efforts.  The advances in virtual technology have opened a wealth of teaching opportunities, and those who do not embrace the opportunities will likely be left in the proverbial dust.]]> 2017-07-25 01:24:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jfuentes4/mtw3uv2m544o/wish/179362430
