What is a Metaverse: The evolution of the latest frontier of the Internet is defined and described. Four Facets of the Metaverse: Data, information, and knowledge, people, IoT, and IoE are explored in relation to the metaverse. Three Components of the Metaverse: Each of the three components plays an important role in realizing the promise of the metaverse. The hardware and software facilitate access, entry, actions, and processing. The content is what the users come to experience within the metaverse. Use Cases: The cases presented demonstrate how educational, healthcare, and insurance-based organizations are entering and pushing the limits of the metaverse technologies to provide innovative, immersive, and engaging educational, clinical, financial, and recreational experiences in a secure environment that maintains privacy. Challenges Facing the Realization of the Metaverse: The weaknesses and threats in the metaverse become challenges that must be eliminated. Nursing Role Specific Challenges: As nurses push the metaverse envelope and continue to create the cutting edge of this frontier, they must always be vigilant to recognize and eliminate challenges. Conclusion: By anticipating and preparing to mitigate potential pitfalls and creating a patient centered collaborative setting, healthcare providers in the metaverse will generate better expectations for this immersive and unparalleled frontier.
