tudents in graduate nursing programs require opportunities to develop and practice skills to prepare for the transition to advanced roles. These include skills related to clinical practice, decision-making, research, education, collaboration, health policy, health systems, and leadership. Leadership skills can be classified as technical (eg, budgeting and resource management) and non-technical (eg, communication, critical thinking, conflict resolution, change management, and problem solving). 1 Development of communication and interview skills is of particular importance as graduate nursing students seek employment in advanced practice roles. Similarly, conflict resolution skills are important for future nurse leaders to lead teams, support staff, and oversee the delivery of health care in increasingly complex environments. Approaches to developing non-technical leadership skills include case studies, role-play, storytelling, journaling, and simulation. 2 Simulation using virtual reality (VR) has been recently explored within higher education, including in health professions programs. 2 VR involves participating in an interactive computer generated, 3D world using either a computer, tablet, or head mounted device. 2 VR enables the application of theoretical content to realistic settings and has been implemented in the education of health professions students to promote the development of technical, cognitive, and relational skills, such as
