Journal Article
Rushton, M., Drumm, I., Campion, S., & O'Hare, J. (2020). The use of immersive and virtual reality technologies to enable nursing students to experience scenario based, basic life support training- exploring the impact on confidence and skills. Computers, Informatics, Nursing, 38(6), 281-293. https://doi.org/10.1097/CIN.0000000000000608

The link between effective basic life support (BLS) and survival following cardiac arrest is well known. Nurses are often first responders at in- hospital cardiac arrests and receive annual BLS training to ensure they have the adequate skills, and st...
