Technological advances in the developing world allow the use of virtual systems in education. Virtual systems, one of the keywords of technology, are expressed as computer communication in the 1990s, web in the 2000s, mobile in the 2010s and "metaverse" in the 2020s. In general, the metaverse is expressed as a cognitive universe that people can experience using various virtual reality devices without the need for physical movement, without leaving their place. Metaverse applications; virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. Metaverse applications in all areas of life are also used extensively in nursing education. Thanks to the metaverse technology in nursing, the lessons given in a low-cost, effective time-managed digital environment enable students to understand complex case solutions and difficult skill issues. These applications provide important contributions in terms of procedural skill development, training speed, permanence and student satisfaction, and academic success motivation. It also increases the individual development of nursing students in team interaction, cultural sensitivity, moral courage and self-control. When the current literature is examined, the use of metaverse applications in the learning of professional practices is important as it will facilitate learning, accept the profession and increase education satisfaction. In order to disseminate these practices in nursing education, it is recommended to provide training on the use of practices involving teaching staff and students and to use the guidance method in clinical cases. To integrate these new training techniques into vocational education, it is recommended to carry out projects and mixed studies in large populations.
