- [The Meeting room is the Simulation Lab](https://lumeto.com/blog/the-meeting-room-is-the-simulation-lab): For most of the history of clinical simulation, the sim center was the starting point. You needed the space, the manikins, the technicians, the scheduling system, and the budget. If you had those, you could deliver high-quality simulation. If you didn’t, your options were limited. This has always been especially challenging for community and rural hospitals. These are the settings where nurses face high-stakes, low-frequency events like sepsis, maternal hemorrhage, or pediatric deterioration, often with few opportunities to practice before those situations arise. Today, simulation is no longer limited to the sim center. InvolveXR’s realistic and immersive environments A nurse
