Build Confidence and Competence
Learn CNA Skills in VR
VRNA uses a fully immersive VR experience to increase the effectiveness and lower the cost of teaching CNA job skills traditionally done in a laboratory setting. VRNA supplements lab instruction, helps reduce material and preparatory burdens on instructors, and keeps students engaged in lab content. This gives users an independent and active learning experience to practice patient care skills in a low-risk environment.
Easy-to-Use for Teachers and Students
VRNA provides realistic simulations based on direct-care scenarios. Each scenario covers a selection of skills that align with CNA certification content across the US. As students practice and complete scenarios, they can monitor their progress using a web-based Performance Portal.
