SAN FRANCISCO, October 2, 2025 — Osso VR, the leader in immersive healthcare training, today announced early access to its new virtual reality nursing solution, Osso Nurse Training, designed to optimize how health systems onboard new graduate nurses. Developed in collaboration with frontline educators, the Osso VR Nursing Series and Osso Loop™ learning platform combine immersive practice with measurable performance analytics to strengthen procedural skills, teach end-to-end workflow competence, and streamline onboarding.
Health systems are invited to join the Founders Circle through early 2026, where participants gain exclusive benefits, including early access to the Osso Essentials Library, a direct voice in future product development, and dedicated support from the Osso Care team. Members will also unlock new Osso Essentials scenarios as they are released and receive limited-time Founders Circle pricing.
“We are so excited and proud to introduce Osso Nurse Training to the market,” said Heather Gervais, CEO of Osso VR. “Finding ways to onboard nurses faster without compromising patient care remains a top concern we hear repeatedly from hospital executives, but current methods are often costly and not always scalable. Recent advances in technology have made this possible. Leveraging our immersive procedural skills training platform not only accelerates onboarding time but can also free up nurse leaders and trainers to focus on delivering high-quality care.”
Osso VR has spent years refining an immersive surgical training model validated in multiple peer-reviewed studies across procedural domains. Osso Nurse Training leverages the best of what the company has built for surgeons, but reimagines that model for nursing, with scenarios and learning tools shaped by providers and frontline educators.
“Looking back over the hundreds of training scenarios we have developed over nearly 10 years, I can confidently say this is one of the most ambitious projects we have taken on at Osso VR,” said Justin Barad, MD, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Osso VR.
“We built it to provide rapid, practical value to deliver optimal care at the bedside. Our scenarios have been carefully balanced to optimize realism and education while being efficient and accessible to learners of all levels. I know what it’s like to be on the frontlines of care, and I am so proud to be able to support my fellow HCPs with the confidence that they are practicing effectively and safely.”
Osso VR Nursing Series provides scenario-based training in high-frequency, critical areas, including IV insertion and central line dressing change. Learners develop procedural proficiency through repeatable practice in VR that mirrors end-to-end clinical workflows. Because it's delivered in virtual reality, the platform eliminates the need for consumables and constant nurse educator facilitation, allowing programs to expand access without adding operational strain.
Osso Loop™ learning platform extends learning beyond the headset with a structured, web-based experience that helps hospitals translate VR performance into measurable progress. It includes guided prebriefing and debriefing workflows, personalized dashboards for learners and educators, and performance summaries anchored in healthcare system priorities through Osso’s proprietary Domains of Excellence™ methodology.
Built to simplify and consolidate data, these tools transform raw performance data into clear, actionable insights, giving nurses and educators confidence in demonstrated proficiency and helping hospitals accelerate the transition to independent, high-quality care.
With the multimodal design of Osso Nurse Training, nursing leaders can mix independent practice, peer collaboration, preceptor-guided sessions, and proficiency assessments into training. This flexibility helps teams scale onboarding, increase training throughput, and speed the time to independent practice for new nurses. The result is greater readiness, stronger retention, and consistent standards across sites.
