- Use of innovative, state-of-the art multimedia
Students can select various methods based on their learning styles to broaden assessment, communication, psychomotor, and cognitive skills within a safe environment. Practice in the simulation lab, along with their clinical experiences, will help students move towards development of their own evidence-based nursing practice, achieving the ultimate goal of becoming clinical leaders in providing excellent patient care. Faculty work one on one or assign students to simulation groups for scenario completion. The simulation lab is a constructive and fun place for the students to learn
