The saga of Kevin Bell continues. This time, Kevin has an issue in a simulated rehab facility wherein he needed to be transported to the ER - this involved two separate scenarios. Our Nursing Simulation Laboratory assists nursing students in learning critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in preparation for their healthcare careers. The “manikins” act as lifelike patient simulators, wherein instructors provide real-time feedback via a control center, giving students as close to a hospital simulation as possible. Fellow students watch as their classmates work through the simulation.
