Abstract
In the ever-evolving landscape of nursing education, the integration of virtual reality (VR) and simulation technologies presents both promise and challenges. Although these innovative tools offer unparalleled opportunities for skill acquisition and clinical reasoning, concerns have arisen regarding the potential erosion of compassionate care at the core of nursing practice. The article explores the balance between technical proficiency and compassionate care in nursing education. The importance of comprehensive educator training in utilizing VR and simulation to instill humanistic values, along with the need for curriculum development that seamlessly integrates compassionate care throughout nursing programs, is underscored. By emphasizing the integration of empathy, emotional intelligence, and reflection into VR and simulation experiences, nursing education can ensure that graduates possess the skill sets and values essential for patient-centered practice. The preservation of human touch remains a priority and a cornerstone in the preparation of nursing professionals equipped to deliver holistic and empathetic care in an increasingly technology-driven healthcare landscape.
