Classroom utilization is carefully planned so you have access to classrooms and labs without waiting for delays.
Simulation Center
Our simulation center contains high-fidelity simulators and sim-view technology, including a Medical Surgical Nursing Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It features two furnished patient rooms: one for Pediatrics with infant and child simulators, a crib, and a youth bed; another includes a birthing simulator, a bassinet for newborns, and a delivery bed.
These simulation rooms have a separate control room with one-way mirrors. Cameras are mounted in patient rooms and provide a panoramic view of the area. Other cameras focus on specific interactions between you—the student nurse—and the patient. Additional cameras hover over each medication cart. All of our simulation rooms have an attached debriefing room that allows up to eight students to observe and critique a classmate’s performance.
Collaboration Room
This is a strategic, communal space for you to study and collaborate with your classmates. Students have the opportunity to work together outside of the classroom in small group, peer-to-peer interactions. The room also allows for independent work in a relaxing environment.
