The Skill Lab is a significant part of nursing students. It provides a foundation for critical reasoning, synthesis, and analysis of increasingly complex care scenarios. - Our skill lab is home to a variety of simulated (mannequin) patients ranging in age from infant to adult, male and female, and a pregnant mannequin that can deliver her baby. All of the mannequins, from low to high fidelity, have names, personal histories, and life-like features such as a palpable pulses, voices, blinking eyes, and a rising and falling chest to simulate breathing.
Additional equipment, such as IV pumps, EKG monitors, respiratory equipment, wound care equipment, an automated medication dispensing machine, and crash carts, add to the reality of the learning space.
Skill lab imitates a real-world environment that enables students to develop and enhance their assessment skills using state of the art equipment and technology.
