UbiSim

UbiSim is where “Nursing Practice Gets Real. It’s the world’s first immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation platform, built by nurses, for nurses. Built to bridge the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice, UbiSim empowers learners to develop clinical judgment, communication, and critical thinking skills through lifelike, evidence-based scenarios that align with INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™.

From pre-licensure nursing programs to hospital-based nurse residency and transition-to-practice programs, UbiSim helps educators deliver consistent, effective training that prepares learners with a heart for patient-centric care, while supporting nurse confidence, competence, and retention.

Realistic. Trusted. Proven.

UbiSim’s VR simulations mirror the look, feel, and complexity of real-world clinical environments. Whether learners are interacting with patients, prioritizing care, or practicing therapeutic communication, they are immersed in psychologically safe, repeatable scenarios designed to develop readiness for real-life care. In fact, 94% of nurse learners say UbiSim helped prepare them for clinical practice, and organizations that use UbiSim report increased confidence, engagement, and learner satisfaction.

UbiSim’s Intuitive Editor

UbiSim’s Intuitive Editor™ makes it easy for educators to create or customize simulation scenarios (no programming required). From medication protocols to patient diversity, nurse educators can align scenarios to learning objectives while reinforcing clinical reasoning and empathy.

“When students step into a UbiSim simulation, they are fully immersed in a hospital room, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution,” said Kelly Foltz-Ramos, Director of Simulation & Innovation at the University at Buffalo. “I can tailor each scenario to the specific needs of my students, making it not just a solution for any classroom, but a solution designed for my classroom.”

Simulation That Supports Real-World Success

In an era when 91% of new nurses fall outside acceptable competency, simulation is more important than ever. UbiSim helps educators meet this challenge with a scalable solution that expands access to experiential learning. Students and staff can access simulations anywhere with a laptop and VR headset without waiting for access to physical labs, preceptors, or clinical placements.

Whether your goal is to increase nursing program enrollment, reduce onboarding time, or lower costly turnover (estimated at $60K per nurse), UbiSim provides the flexibility and fidelity to meet your goals. From rural nursing schools to large academic medical centers, UbiSim enables institutions to scale their impact and prepare future-ready nurses today.
