Innovative Application of OrchestrateVR™ in Nursing Education

With over 30 years in nursing, including roles from LPN to interim nurse manager and over two decades in nursing education, Dr. Hinton brings a wealth of experience to simulation-based learning.

She encountered the OrchestrateVR™ team over two years ago at an industry conference. Since then, she has collaborated closely with an instructional designer, to harness the platform's capabilities.

Her efforts are geared towards transforming traditional nursing education by leveraging immersive technologies and advancing simulation practices to better prepare nursing professionals for real-world challenges.
