Mental health nursing faces a critical shortage as healthcare needs 310,000 more psychiatric nurses in the US and Canada, yet nursing students consistently avoid this specialty due to anxiety and stigma. Traditional educational approaches lead to nurses who graduate with little experience treating patients with mental health conditions and inadequate preparation for clinical practice. In this CE Webinar presentation co-organized by UbiSim, join Dr. Sheri Howard, PhD, RN, CHSE on October 15 to explore her 2025 research that demonstrates how immersive mental health simulation, deployed before clinical exposure, is critical to interrupt the cycle where unprepared, anxious nursing students potentially have stressful clinical experiences that reinforce stigma and reduce interest in mental health nursing careers. Find out how Virtual Reality (VR) training helped to reduce student stigma by 32%!
Sheri Howard, PhD, RN, CHSE is a recognized leader in developing innovative approaches to nursing education. Her research explores the integration of virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and high-fidelity simulation to advance nursing education and improve clinical preparedness. Through her scholarship, Dr. Howard contributed to evidence-based approaches that enhance simulation pedagogy, debriefing methods, and the development of authentic patient care scenarios. She has collaborated on international research projects and applies her expertise to designing patient care scenarios that bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world practice. By working closely with faculty, she ensures nursing students gain the skills and confidence they need to respond effectively in complex clinical situations. She has led the design and development of four state-of-the-art simulation centers in academic and clinical settings, applying her expertise to create, implement, and evaluate innovative simulation-based learning.
