Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, a 1,070-bed hospital in Paramus, New Jersey, has launched Osso Nurse Training, a virtual reality platform that helps nurses at all stages of their careers build clinical skills. The hospital describes it as part of its nurse onboarding and workforce development efforts, and its own social media post says nurses and clinicians now have access to VR simulation training.
How the training works
The platform was developed by immersive healthcare training company Osso VR. It offers guided and independent VR training experiences intended to give nurses more hands-on repetition and skill development. Nurses can practise high-frequency procedures, including IV insertion and central line dressing changes.
Access and rollout
The hospital reached the platform through its membership in America's Essential Hospitals. The association partnered with Osso VR in 2025 to help its member hospitals expand access to immersive procedural training and new approaches to nurse onboarding. According to the Osso VR release dated June 4, 2026, Bergen New Bridge is among the first essential hospitals to use immersive training in this way.
Leadership comments
Hospital President and CEO Deborah Visconi said the tool changes how nursing education operates and prepares the nursing team for the future. Osso VR CEO Heather Gervais said organizations willing to rethink traditional training models are helping shape the future of healthcare workforce development.
