Nursing Simulation

Academics / Departments & Programs / Nursing / Academics / Nursing Simulation

Nursing simulation is integrated throughout the curriculum with a variety of across the life span, scenario-based simulations. Each simulation experience uses a level-appropriate simulator to allow students to meet the objectives of that learning experience. Nursing students are immersed in real-life patient scenarios and, by working through the scenario, learn to integrate their classroom knowledge with their assessment findings and nursing skills. This better prepares students for nursing in the real world. Our nursing labs are equipped with a variety of infant, child, and adult mannequins, including our high fidelity mannequins Nancy and Art.

As a nursing student working through scenarios, you will:

Strengthen your classroom knowledge with hands on experience
Utilize critical thinking skills
Learn how to function as a part of a team

Nursing students also participate with students from other disciplines (e.g. speech pathology, social work) in interdisciplinary simulations.
