Streszczenie The challenge of Covid-19 exposed and exacerbated several issues in higher education including nursing studies. The use of simulation witha ‘virtual patient in medical education allows to train and assess clinical and relational skills. The study aimed to analyse selected literature on the use of immersive virtual reality and virtual supervision for maintaining the continuity of nursing education during the pandemic. PubMed/Medline databases were searched on June 2021 to extract articles that reported the outcomes of immersive virtual reality and virtual supervision on nursing education during the pandemic. The search terms were Immersive virtual reality (IVR), Information technology, Education Simulation, Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), nursing. The publications that met the (keywords) inclusion criteria were identified and included in the topic. Progress in medicine has shortened the patient's hospitalisation, which reduces the student's chance to verify their knowledge and shape their skills in clinical settings at various stages of a diagnostic and therapeutic processes. On the other hand, particularly rare diseases may not appear at all during student clinical practice, which reduces its effectiveness. Medical simulation (immersive virtual reality-IVR) at this time is gaining importance because the use of its unlimited possibilities ensures continuity of education in all practical fields of medicine. Besides anaesthesiology and intensive therapy, emergency medicine which have become pioneer areas of simulation, IVR can be used in all other fields of medicine and with very good results.
