The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of the problem solving process, critical thinking disposition, and self-directed learning ability effect between the group who received virtual reality simulation training online for 3rd grade nursing students and the group who received clinical practice training offline for them. The experimental group (18 people) was asked to evaluate patient care and provide feedback through VSim Scenarios (The National League for Nursing & Laerdal Medical), an online interactive virtual simulation. The control group (19 people) was given offline regular practical training. Data analysis was using SPSS25.0. As a result of the study, it was found that the experimental group who received virtual reality simulation practical education using online had a significantly higher problem solving process (Z=-2.194, p=.028) than the control group. Processes such as patient safety, communication, physical assessment, and drug injection appear to have had a positive effect on solving the problem by providing patient information through scenario learning, pre-learning quizzes, and providing feedback to patients after nursing in a virtual simulation space. In conclusion, in order to confirm the effectiveness of online virtual reality simulation education, it is necessary to continuously study by applying various variables.
