Earlier this semester, Nursing Simulation Lab Director Ian Murray reprised the role of James Irons, a recovering alcoholic who may have relapsed and ended up in the hospital. James is complaining of itching from bed bugs, and seeing red squirrels in the room.

Nursing  students learn the process of collecting a sterile urine sample in their Nursing Foundations Lab.; results can be monitored with the aid of real-time feedback. In this course, emphasis is placed on professionalism, caring, communication, cultural considerations, spirituality, sexuality and health promoting activities. 

Recently. our nursing students worked through a pediatric patient scenario in our Nursing Simulation Laboratory. Senior nursing student Haley Tulip played the role of the concerned mother.

Recently. our nursing students worked through a scenario with Nursing Simulation Lab Director Ian Murray stepping in to play the role of James Irons in our Nursing Simulation Lab. Today, a manikin version of James Irons returned later in life suffering from liver failure.

Nursing  students learn the various forms of respiratory interventions in their Nursing Foundations Lab.; results can be monitored with the aid of real-time feedback. In this course, emphasis is placed on professionalism, caring, communication, cultural considerations, spirituality, sexuality and health promoting activities. 

Our nursing students assessed the condition of a newborn in our Nursing Simulation Lab. 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 real-life simulation as possible. Fellow students watch as their classmates work through the simulation. All students and faculty debrief after the scenario.

 Nursing  students learn the methods of, and importance of checking with, and informing, a patient before injecting ordered medications in their Nursing Foundations Lab. In this course, emphasis is placed on professionalism, caring, communication, cultural considerations, spirituality, sexuality and health promoting activities. 

Curtis P. Rodgers (C.P.R.) is in the Simulation Lab, so our nursing students were immersed in a code blue  simulation. A “code blue” is defined as any patient with an unexpected cardiac or respiratory arrest requiring resuscitation and activation of a hospital-wide alert. A pause in the scenario allowed faculty to go in-depth in the scenario and allowed the students to work on their CPR skills; given immediate feedback from both the mannikin patient, and external devices.

The “manikins” act as lifelike patient simulators, wherein instructors provide real-time feedback via a control center, giving students as close to real-life simulation as possible. Fellow students acted as support staff and assisted the team through the simulation once the code blue alarm was initiated. All students and faculty debrief after the scenario.

Our nursing students were immersed in scenario with a pediatric patient. Students cared for the patient and instructed a "family member" on aftercare. Our Nursing Simulation Laboratory assists nursing students in learning critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in preparation for their healthcare careers.
